THE BASIS POINT

Namaste MCA

 

Beastie Boy Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch died today. I’m speechless except to offer my respect to his surviving bandmates and family. And to say namaste to my lifelong creative beacon.

A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day
As I feel this reality gently fade away
Riding on a thought to see where it’s from
Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come
Smoke paints the air Swirling images through my mind
Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind
And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting
As time slips by
Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky
And I sit And I think to myself
And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb
And it seems like it’s been so long since he shined
But I’m sure it was only yesterday

Namaste

A cold chill of fear cut through me
I felt my heart contract
To my mind I brought the image of light
And I expanded out of it
My fear was just a shadow
And then a voice spoke in my head
And she said dark is not the opposite of light
It’s the absence of light
And I thought to myself
She knows what she’s talking about
And for a moment
I knew what it was all about

    I’ll forever remember Adam not only as the gravely-voiced punkrapper with the soulful stare who inspired a generation starting with 2 simple words “Kick It!” and went on unafraid to gray but stay ever kicking in spirit and talent, but as my Husband’s H.S. buddy as well. I can now see those inquisitive eyes just like we did 14 years ago from across a room; here’s hoping I can crusade to make him proud every day just like he did for us. My tears, thoughts and prayers are with his family and remaining band members now as it seems like we’ve all lost a brother; one of us, (Here’s a little story I’ve got to tell about 3 bad brothers you know so well…) MCA, you may be gone but you’ll live 4ever in our hearts, minds and souls (Born and bred in Brooklyn, The U.S.A., they call me Adam Yauch, but I’m MCA!) RIP, MCA, we’ll always <3 U!
