That blurb on Nora Ephron came out so dry. I was trying to express wonderment and respect but what I got was stats.
Look, here's the deal. Life is this vibrant, pulsating, magical, mystical thing that nobody understands. Nobody knows how it happened, nobody knows where it is going, nobody knows what the hell it means to be alive and what you are supposed to do with it.
Some people defy the unknowing and just go ahead and live life. They plug into the buzz and experience life on their own terms and they shower out positive repercussions upon the heads of all who come into contact with them.
The heads that are the lucky recipients know they are in touch with a life force, a person who is just dancing through their term on this planet with glee. These lucky people know that they are not on the same level as this person and they hope to elevate their joy of live by rubbing shoulders.
Sounds to me like Nora Ehron was one of these people. People like this are rare and that's why they shine and that's why when they die there is a huge outpouring of grief and an overwhelming sense of loss.
Replacements don't come easily. Right now the world is in negative balance until someone comes along or someone is recognized as the next Nora Ephron.
That's what I was trying to say.
