I miss my friend Ronnie. I keep seeing articles including his timeline & biography. It’s ok but it’s missing the time he lived in Hawaii. He greatly admired Rinpoche but he also incorporated other beliefs into his unique Spirituality. We were together for Rinpoche’s Cremation Ceremony & witnessed a triple rainbow. I miss his humor, intelligence, determination, & of course his friendship.
