My sincerest apologies for my late reply as I have not had access to internet for the past couple of days.

A sad time for the whole of the ATS community and also the family and loved ones of Masqua.

Masqua... may you rest in everlasting peace and may positive thoughts go out from here in France to all those that you cared for.

Kindest respects.

Sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Masqua, you can use stardust now to paint the heavens for us.

That's beautiful. Thank you, Zazz. You put that far better than I ever could.

R.I.P. Masqua, we will all be joining you soon enough big fella.

While we mourn here, I close my eyes and can see your spirit flying free, soaring to the heavens...

Good bye Tony, hope we will meet again on the next journey...

poor guy we will miss him

My condolences to his real world and internet families.

A song from one of the tribes, Anishinabeg, Masqua referred to in his memorable thread made long ago.

A pertinent hail to a grand being, still traveling in this time "in between".

I confess my ignorance to the meaning of this song but my own drumming would not serve him justice.
Fly friend. Fly. And grace our sky with your majestic wings.

Forgive me, I would like to add this but have been reluctant since my skills are so inadequate.

I will provide the translation. Meager as it be.

I fly over the waters
I look over the creation
I go with the turtle
Searching for the Anishnabe

I fly over the waters
I search for the creation
I go with The Great Spirit
Healing his people The Anishnabe

(Adapted from medicine wheel singers)

This, this passing touches me, this journey I can't go on right now. All mixed together in gratitude and resentment.
Resentment yes, because as a spoiled child I demand the good and wholesome things stay in my life.
Like the ancient tree branching out with memories long past. Birds nesting generation after generation and then it is cut down.

Masqua was a good man.

Yep good guy, will be missed

I just joined, but he sounded like a good guy. Bummer.

So long friend., we will meet again.

When a great light burns out here on Earth, a star is lit in the heavens.

My deepest condolences to family and friends

VF.

About the crappiest news one could have. He was always enjoyable to talk with and you learned something about anything. Man did he have a lot if vinyl. Great stuff.

We are all diminished.
