it's was truly a shock to my spirit when i read the news we have in this minute yet intense global community that's enveloped linked cultivated via all of our countless psychic moments here in the jungle lost an ember that's fueled this collective flame for many years Tim's passion for G-Land was strong and well-lived no doubt a fire that never went to ash during his life it's awkward to realize his presence will only be amassed in spirit from now on but thankfully he's left that behind i see him playing chess with Puma so amped to win without knowing that his good friend was playing nice rubbing his hands together then nibbling his fingertips ultimately calculating his approach for the day on the early morning surf check i vividly see him holding position on his beloved Fang appearing to simply be floating off mark but then being rewarded for his patience generously taking younger guys under his tutelage and giving them a knowledgeable breakdown of the jungle and the point Tim was a consummate veteran of G-Land and never once did i witness an egotistical flaunt because of all his time spent in the jungle Tim was a brother and his departure from the living world re-attests for me that anything can happen at any time so the continual efforts to appreciate breathe and cultivate unhindered philosophies are much the source of a consciously lived existence Tim took his life by his own doing leaping from a Honolulu high-rise on the 8th of October 2012 i'm still spun into a confused state by this originally i was hesitant to communicate this however it may be perceived yet such is the truth and such is as well that Tim's physical presence will be missed!!!
