Patrick Gookin on Miles
devastated and broken hearted.
on wednesday night the world lost an artist and a poet of rare sensitivity and clarity. miles was a person unlike any i’d ever met and i trust ever will again.
i lost a best friend and a light in my life that i don’t want to be without. miles’ depth of person and generosity on all levels was singular. he came into my life when i knew even less than i know now and helped me transform the way i saw myself and in turn everything else since. i am forever grateful.
miles’ vision and ideas for how we should act, communicate, and create squarely did not fit into today’s world or mesh with our time’s prevailing sentiment of inevitability. he knew we all deserved better and could have it if we wanted it, or at least talked to our neighbors.
for now, i’ll assume there’s a place more deserving of him.
tell your friends you love them.
rest in peace, miles cooper seaton.
