Mr. Paul L. Vasquez, a man I knew of only because of a 3-minute video from 2010 posted on Youtube, has died from CV-19, and I feel an incredible sadness. In my view, the video contains one of the purest and sweetest expressions of awe, elation, and revery ever recorded. And the ‘double rainbow across the sky!’ is indeed awesome! — there are moments where the light below lower rainbow shimmers like a massive dome has been lowered over the land. It is a privilege to share in Mr. Vasquez’ experience — the video is posted below.
Mr. Vasquez was only 57 when felled by CV-19 earlier this week, according to news reports. It is a goddamn shame that he had to die, that more than 80,000 have had to die, with thousands more to come, because of the overwhelming incompetence of this president and his lackeys. It is profoundly and incredibly sad.
