Wow!
All I can say at the sad suddenness of the whole thing. I mean none of us really expected Robin Williams to pass, especially not so sudden and unexpected. We were all, truthfully waiting on his next project to be released. I mean Robin Williams had long transcended the normal boundaries of mere acting, he was Robin Williams, an experience, a pleasure an unpredictable enjoyment of life! I mean he lived up to his expectations and more, I mean starting out as an alien! All I have to say is no one can prove Robin Williams was from Earth! He picked the perfect career, I mean I am along with millions others are glad he chose to entertain us in a way no one else from this planet ever could.
Rest In Peace
I really appreciate how the acting community is paying Mr Williams his proper respect in so many ways in such a deserved fashion, much appreciation from all his fans. Again I have to say this was such an unexpected blow to us all as fans. Robin has been engrained as a part of Hollywood over the last 4 decades. It seemed so weird this morning having to view the entertainment world without Robin Williams...he has after all left an indelible mark on each of the last 4 decades with his unique one-of-a-kind talents. We all seen how Hollywood tried unsuccessfully to limit Robin to acting. His talents seemingly bursting at the seems in several other mediums as well. One thing is for sure Robin Williams will be missed by many.

I have recently been presented a very special and unique opportunity., artist, Robert Lynwood has decided to open up and share his entire uncensored life with rest of the world And has decided to allow me to document it! A special story in itself as a successful artist Robert Lynwood has made a name for himself with his world-famous photography and writing, with several successful published titles had decided to share the experiences that made him the artist he is today, up close and personal. Robert Lynwood asked me if I could be brutally honest when it came to his music, paintings, poems and pictures. He felt that that in order to really share his life he had to have an honest author to document it. He wanted the story told, the story that constitute an artist's life, both the pleasures and the pain that make-up and artist, that gives him reason to create and motivate. and in turn will share with you in various articles over the next year.
Initially at our very first meeting Mr Lynwood Handed me a Poem titled "People" and simply asked me if agreed or disagreed? I agreed, I thought the few lines did an amazing job of expressing such a broad and widely shared opinion. I obtained permission to reprint it here in hopes getting your opinion also.
