...

let's have a few moments of silence:
for Cleo, who was innocent but unfortunate (to say the least) and who we miss very much.
for Freddie Mercury, whose 60th birthday would have been today and whose legacy will continue to inspire and touch us all as long as we enjoy his music and enduring spirit.
and for Steve Irwin, whose fate was really not all that shocking and was probably somewhat overdue because of his daring, and often, apparent carelessness - but who also left behind a wife and two young children who loved him and, I'm sure, are devastated.

I hope their wild spirits and restless souls have found some peace in the hereafter.
