My good friend of 40 years, Lace Haug, left the planet yesterday. He was at the end stages of a horribly painful and hopeless condition. He asked me to take him to the hospital for what he undoubtedly knew was the end. And he thanked me.
Lace was a hell of a musician, a great friend, and a seeker. He was never satisfied with mere scientific or religious explanations for why, and continuously studied and searched all paths available to him. In the end he achieved a peace he probably never saw during his life.
One of his last statements to me was that he was disappointed in the behavior of humanity, especially the Western world. He said, "I can't accept the rampant bald-face lying by those in power, who only want more power and wealth. It's gotten way out of hand. If this is the way the world is evolving, I would rather die now than see it get worse." He, like I, was disgusted with greed, bigotry and intolerance. These are sentiments that my children have recently echoed as they tell me they will not bring children into an evil world.
Perhaps this is a final lesson: The gentle and pacific people of the Earth must leave and let the dull-witted and evil to inherit this existence and accelerate its destruction.
Farewell, Lace. You're already missed. And farewell to the hope for the transformation and ascension of humanity. Still, some of us will maintain hope. I just can't see how.
