A
Tribute To Floyd Watson
Floyd Watson, how can I express what is in my heart
about this man? Where do I begin? His booming
voice, his wonderful inspirational writings, his
"Yeeeees"as he answered my many questions, his
love of stones and gems, his childlike interest in
everything, his Emails that pointed me to new exciting
Websites or funny and endearing
messages, his enthusiasm as he met and interacted with new friends and then immediately connected them with his old friends, and most of all his great love of life no matter what he was experiencing in his physical world! These are just a few things which endeared Floyd to me and made him so special to many, many others all around the world.
He was a truly inspiration man...he lived from a deep connection to the Spirit within himself. He lived what he preached, "Peace with all men and all creation." He was a world changer in the most radical sense!
If Floyd Watson was in your life, you would begin to change and expand in ways you never expected. He had the ability to open your heaven to new possibilities. His radical love gave you permission to come out of the box created to keep you bound. He delighted with you as he saw your walls begin tumbling down! He loved to pontificate on the brilliant things the Spirit of God had revealed to him and he did it with such humor that you ended up with tears of laughter running down your face.
When I think of Floyd, I think of a man that received delight from the smallest of things and had the ability to embrace those moments like very few ever can. He delighted in a beautiful view, a good meal, a little child, a new place to visit, a new friend, a beautiful stone, a new book, and the wonder of leading others out of the darkness. These experiences were thrilling to Floyd. He had a way of taking things which might seem mundane and turning them into an exciting adventure.
During the last few months, Floyd and I had some very intimate conversations via Instant Messages. Floyd told me he was going between two worlds much of the time. I asked him what it was like and he said,"The things of this world are losing their influence over me. Here, there, in the body, out of the body it matter not." I asked him to please not leave, as we all needed him so much. He told me each one of us must find our own way. I know this to be true, but there are those people which enter our lives and seem to lead us and cheer us on as we find that way. For me, and I know I speak for so many others, Floyd was one of those people.
To say he will be missed is an understatement, but I will only miss the earth suit he wore. I expect to see Floyd in other forms, just as Jesus came in so may forms after his death and resurrection. They never really recognized him by sight, but by the voice. I will be listening for Floyd's voice everywhere I go. In the quiet moments of meditation, when listening to the ocean, hearing the sweet song of a bird, the chatter of a small child, and in the whispers of the wind. I know Floyd has not left us. Maybe we can't see him any longer as the Floyd we knew and loved, but his Spirit lives on and if I know Floyd, that Spirit will be finding opportunity to express itself....... and when it does.... I'll be listening........... will you?
With Love and Great Appreciation For My Precious Friend Floyd Watson
