Remembering Michael Jackson

June 26, 2009

Michael Jackson’s songs have been circling continuously in my mind since hearing of his death yesterday. Everything from ABC to Black or White, Thriller… I can still see and hear him on TV singing with the Jackson Five. I see him electrifying the world at the Apollo Theater. I hear him at the Super Bowl. I hear and see Michael everywhere. He was an amazing talent. He changed music forever. He shook the world energetically, releasing energy as if splitting the atom. His talents — singing, dancing, composing — were enormous.

How many people really understood the heart and soul of this man? It’s challenging to express ones uniqueness completely, and Michael did that. It’s hard to be so sensitive, creative and open in this world, especially in the limelight like Michael was.

So many thoughts and feelings floating through my mind and heart. He did want to “heal the world”. I titled this post “Remembering Michael Jackson”, but he could never be forgotten.

    Namaste, I must agree with your thoughts. The words Michael sang in “You Are Not Alone” have played in my head since I heard the news.

    I have loved Michael Jackson since I was 5 years old. In my heart I have celebrated with him through many triumphs and mourned with him for his saddest moments. And I am not alone. Despite the what the media in our country has implied about the King of Pop his sensitive and generous, many talented soul was appreciated around the world. All of his fans were rejoicing over the coming “This is It” tour and we all mourn the loss of this great, great talent, this great great man.

    It is my hope that when the dust has settled and his children are old enough to understand, that they will see the simple truth: This lovely man was beloved by so, so many and in our hearts he is Forever Michael.
