I'm glad I come across your video...Just like you had, I have a friend who passed away just days ago. She was only 17 years old. I love to hear your experience on this and also believe that artists, Jim, appreciate our appreciation of their work and so, smile from above ❤

I’m very sorry to hear about your friend’s passing, and so young. I know words usually fall flat when pain is worst but a poem that has given me comfort after my own losses (most recently my best friend three months ago) is called “Death is Nothing At All” by Henry Scott-Holland. I hope it does the same for you. I’m glad this video helped you feel better, too. Comments like yours make all the effort worth it. We’re all pilgrims on the same bumpy path and should be helping each other. Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace.

I went to the Perelachaise to see Jim Morrison's grave back in October 1989. It was a foggy day and also surreal. A French girl showed me a around. I remember there was a handful of people there. I remember some of their faces. I wonder where they are now. Or where were they from ? This was before the Oliver Stone movie came out. An aroma of hash hung in the air. And I just looked at Jim's grave rapt in the moment. It was here back in 1971 that the mystique of Jim Morrison was born. And I was there on a foggy day back in October 1989. Surreal to me 🏛

Beautiful story, I enjoyed listening. You have a wonderful way of story telling that keeps me wondering what happens next? I think of the afterlife sometimes but I try not to focus on it much and keep busy and cherish the moment I am in. Thank you for sharing .

That’s a wise attitude. When I was younger, I made a pageantry of death because getting old and dying was so far away that I couldn’t even imagine it happening to me. I was “worrying about midnight in the morning” as the old saying goes. But as I’ve gotten older and realized that I will not be spared, I’ve become more interested in living fully so that when I die, I won’t feel like I squandered my one, precious life being afraid of the end, or complaining about things I can’t control anyway. Regarding what happened next - I had a wonderful time in Paris and saw a lot of other countries in Europe before running out of money. The last night I was there, I had less than $15 left and had to choose between a meal and a bed. I chose a meal (it was spaghetti Neapolitan, Greek style), then snuck under the fence surrounding the Acropolis, explored the ruins alone in the dark, and read poetry by candlelight in a cave. That story is here too. It’s called “More Kindness Than Danger”. The feeling I got from all the Jim Morrison “coincidences” that this world is not all there is stayed with me and helped me enjoy the rest of the adventure much more. Thanks again for listening and for your thoughts on this. You got me thinking. :)

Profound and provocative. The deepest adventure yet. A new window into the author's artful soul, and a reminder that without dark there is no light; at least in the human experience. Another journey into a life well lived. Thank you MR.

Thank you, Ron. You are so right. Nobody wants or likes the bad stuff, but it gives us something to compare the good to, and makes us appreciate it more. Anyone who has ever survived a tragedy and prayed not for fame and fortune but simply a return to normal will know what I mean. Khalil Gibran wrote, the more deeply sorrow carves into your being, the more joy it can contain. I think that’s true. Thanks again for listening, and for your kind thoughts.

pretty good man,I had imagined you'd do it like a dream where you and Jim hung out all night.So your take took me off guard,but it was real and so I very much enjoyed your story....so i'll tell you what you told Jim "thanks!"

@markrickerbyadventurestories 7 ай бұрын

Thanks buddy. Yeah, the old “and then I woke up” bit is one of the oldest writing cliches and to be avoided at all costs. These events made me believe that there’s a fabric to our experiences, and probably our entire lives. Or maybe God just has a twisted sense of humor sometimes. 😂 Thanks for listening and for your comment. I appreciate it.

"We don't lose people when they pass, we give them back" ... something like that someone said. i thought it was neat. what if he was scared of death because of the mystery? the fear locked with an ultimate knowledge that his brilliant mind could identify with as parallel but not a straight line, as he was a mystery to himself. death seems easier than life at times... not so many hang-ups (no pun intended), quizzes that are rudimentary leading to confusion, getting farther from a truth that is inherent and only forgotten because of the silly games we become. Death....It's pretty straight forward....it will inevitably happen. it can be trusted - people....not so much sometimes. They are the silly mystery that's not exciting. Their sort of play is not profound, but heartbreaking without much to gain. through death, some gain many friends they never knew, but these rare , new friends expect nothing from them anymore and delve into the seeker's mystery with love and curiosity that appears unconditional.

I am 0.000% religious, but I hope there is something else. I am afraid of dying because I assume that we all just fade to black.

@markrickerbyadventurestories 7 ай бұрын

I understand how you feel. I have a lot of questions too, which is why I write stories like this when something mysterious and unexplainable happens. I’m trying to “make sense of these scattered impressions” in my own way, and write myself sane one story at a time. As I mentioned in the story, I also started studying near-death experiences because the best way to know the road ahead is to ask those coming back. I can also say that enough bizarre things have happened to me for me to know with certainty that there’s an afterlife, but I don’t think anyone knows exactly what it’s like. So my humble advice is to take heart. There is more than this world. Wishing you peace.

Wow, I'm sick of doubt Live in the light of certain South cruel bindings The servants have the power Dog-men and their mean women Pulling poor blankets over our sailors I'm sick of dour faces staring at me from the TV tower I want roses in my garden bower; dig? Royal babies, rubies must now replace aborted strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal for the plant that's plowed They are waiting to take us into the severed garden Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour? Unannounced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders Smooth as raven's claws No more money, no more fancy dress This other kingdom seems by far the best Until its other jaw reveals incest And lose obedience to a vegetable law I will not go Prefer a feast of friends to the giant family Jim Morrison This is one of my favorites by Jim. The Doors and the Beatles have always been tied at 1 for the best bands ever for me, ever since i was very young ive loved them. Jim had a very high IQ and i truly believe he went into another dimension or something when he performed, its hard to describe but its like a shaman, Jim explained it as like a trance and the audience went on a trip with the band. Energy never dies so i very much believe there is something else just like how new stars are born our energy also gets reborn 🌟

I’ve felt the same way at times when horrible things happen to good people, but life still feels like a mystery to me, not like nothing, so I believe there is more, and nobody knows exactly what. Nobody living really knows, or can know.

Proof - conjuring up ghosts ?

@markrickerbyadventurestories Ай бұрын

Not so much conjuring as apparently being directed by one, whether Jim himself or someone with a very strange sense of humor. In all of Paris, on the same day that I visited Jim’s grave, I accidentally ended up across the street from the building where he lived? Seems too coincidental to be accidental.
