As the Pagan Jesus said to Saint Bastardo-

7 times around the Sun
Enjoying life and having fun
Even though you are truly missed
(More so when I'm really pissed)
I see your smile when I close my eyes
And know that in this universe there are no goodbyes

We will all get there, just a question of time. You will not be lonely.

So,,,,, last night I had a small whiskey in memory of the many Nat and I have had. This was from a gift bottle of Hibiki Premiere Select. Over $400 a bottle. True to tell. I can think of nothing finer to toast the memory of our very fine friend. Saluti

I like to think you are about 6 years old, playing in a garden around the base of Santorini. You would have planted many things by now, and know the joy of new life. Just keep a wary eye on that volcano eh!

5 years later & the Natless world rolls on. For all of us who truly know The Master there is some essential ingredient missing. Like puttanesca without anchovies.
Nat & Sofi dropped by yesterday. They are exquisitely happy. Celebrate life is their message to us all. C U NaT

Margaritas always seem to have a Natty flavour... we would have been drinking them last night my friend. You would not cope with this 'Rona' epidemic darling... Too many germs
Love you

Hope that covid did not send any friends your way.

Four years on & still, at times, I turn to tell Nat some observation or revelation, some point of view or humour that I know he would get & I start to feel that feeling that he is not there, a Nat shaped space in my life.... & yet I equally know that he is still there, can still hear me, & so I share it with my friend because he is only a step away

I flew back from Weipa on your birthday. After my first full term as a High school Teacher... my new career... I would have expected to meet with you over many drinks and tell you all about it. I found such comfort and endurance in your ongoing support during my study years.
Now I have finally made it, and I imagine you beaming down at me with that amazing smile of yours and telling me how clever I am, It will be two years since you left next week... still feels very recent to me at times.
Got back to Weipa yesterday... Term two begins tomorrow. The Luffa I planted is in flower now, bright,yellow and happy looking... just wanted to let you know xxx.

Can't believe its only been a year... it feels like i have had to manage without you for so much longer. I talk about you... talk to you... and trust that you can hear me. I had a french pastry at that boutique bakery at Freshwater today... that place you introduced me to, remember? I know you would have favourably critiqued the buttery flaky deliciousness... Bon Appétit Natty xxx

My time with Nat was spent when we were both in our later twenties and again when he met Sofi . So many memories of you both. Pink stilettos..Nat wearing them !!! and getting drunk on port. All the times you would turn up to visit so excited from your latest meditation technique or automatic writing and we would both have a go. Walking with Nat down the beach to buy a pizza and there he is, not thirty, this gorgeous Italian hunk ,wearing a G string and carrying a sweet little crystal wand he had just made,the aussie blokes at the pub choking on their beers....Glad you with Sofi love,I still smile at all the crazy times..xxxx

Natty, Nattius, Grande Cane - tonight is Wednesday night - we are supposed to be drinking port and eating Rocky Road - my Wednesday nights are so empty without you. My life is poorer without you, but soooo much richer for you being in it. You are an inspiration and a true friend. Love to you and Sofi, I am so pleased you are at peace and together. Love you always.

I do not have sadness for him
He is where he wants to be
I only have my sadness as
He is not here for me
Would that we all could know
someone who knew love so
............................................................

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die

You called me Master, but I was but a Pebble in your hand. I've travel far & met many but not another soul like you. Natius Maximus Dog's Breath or whatever K9 you were! You managed to grab a big bite of every heart you ever touched and I'll thank you till the day I die that you bit mine & my family. Till we meet again "Bless you my friend".

Love always to you Nat 'Grande Cane' from Lu & Janelle xx

Son Of Frankincense Invite

June 3, 2015

Many a poor innocent song was murdered at the kitchen table at Scott Street.

Dear little tunes like 'Heart and Soul' and 'St. James Infirmary' were ritually slaughtered for our own Bacchanalian pleasures. But out of the chaos was born creation...

Several songs were written, but this was my favourite.

One of Nat's many brains effortlessly laid out the bones on the table. Pete Roberts worked hard to flesh them out with three verses of lyrics and a chorus. I worked up a sweat dressing the beast with ukulele tinsel and shoved a bolt though it's neck as a fashion statement.

The atmosphere was then charged with the burning of Dragons Blood, Frankincense and a little wafer of Myrrh. Consume we did many glasses of Rum of the Red and behold, out of the vacuum of our minds, enough zero point energy brought the beast to life... life I say.

I must not reveal the most interesting recordings of the creation due to colourful language constraints. But the beast lives on, restless still, in the online Tomb of one Natale Tobiano. A simple ukulele rendition of the song, Summer. It's under the audio tab. Please enjoy.
