Hutcho' Wake

[stoo23]

I am unsure how many or if Any Members are in or from Sydney, Australia,... BUT,.. If you are,.. there is going to be a Wake for Hutch' on this coming Sunday 4th June 2023 to be held at "The Carrington" Hotel at 3.00pm

Thank you,.... We Will

We all should even if it's total'n tea. And never, ever try to out drink an Australian. That last photo of Hutch looks like a BHP mate of mine and reminded me of such escapades. Keep it between the lines and painted side up, boys and girls.

Please raise a glass to him from Canada!

Well, Sunday dawned Wet & Miserable 
Fortunately, by lunchtime it had stopped raining, which made the drive down to Sydney somewhat more pleasant.

As I got closer to Sydney, the sky cleared and there were patches of blue, white clouds and some sunshine  which was nice and allowed the Carrington to have it's normal indoor/outdoor operation with people sitting at tables outdoors on the street, eating drinking etc.

Due to having to find some slightly remote parking and traffic etc, I arrived slightly later than the 3pm start and when I finally found everyone, in the rear section of the Hotel, (which I was not aware existed lol), things were in full swing, with (at the time of my arrival), my and Hutch's good friend Mark, giving his reminisences of Hutch, with some good humoured stories and anecdotes, followed by one of Hutch's good friends Phil similarly providing everyone with some enjoyable stories to be followed finally by Ian, Hutch's brother, to conclude the reminiscences/eulogies to the surprisingly large gathering.

Perhaps sadly, with the hotel being popular and relatively crowded and busy,.. AND with a band playing in the front Bar area, it did make it difficult (and for some impossible) to easily hear all those addressing the Masses, which was perhaps a shame 

Strangely, the band stopped within minutes of the Speeches ending, so was simply just some bad timing,..... BUT,.. generally, there was a great feeling & vibe amongst the collected crowd, with the whole of Hutch's street attending, along with the Coffee shop crowd and many locals from the area that knew him, along with a few older, longer and more distant friends also in attendance, which mean't there was easily more than 30 plus people there to celebrate the life of Hutch.

Appropriate 'Toasts' were made and whilst realistically Sad,.. everyone was in a suitably celebratory Wake appropriate mood 

As the day wore on a few stayed for Late afternoon food / early dinner, as did the small 'Core' group (as those mentioned above) and a few others, which made for a very pleasant end of the day.

It was great to see such a diverse and large crowd there for Hutch, .... as it was in His local reality and life as it was diverse in his 'on line' life 

Perhaps a shame many of You could Not be there physically and in Person, but were (I am sure), in both Spirit and Mind.

So All in All, it was a nice way,... to Say goodbye 

[Steelmillal]

in both Spirit and Mind.

-FOR HTUCH
TIPPED A TUMBLER TOPPED WITH TEA AT TWO TWENTY-TWO AM
A GIGATIC FULL MOON TRAVERSED THE SKY, WHITE ROSES SCENTED THE NIGHT AIR
ART BELL WAS TALKING ABOUT TIMOTHY LEARY'S PASSING, ECHOES IN THE PRESENT
WE ARE ENDLESS, SHINING LIGHT, ILLUMINATING THE PATH OF OTHERS
~REMEMBER

..fitting the coffeeshop was a community hub. We should start a 'buy me a coffee', yeah Forumites? Hutch never asked for a dime, and WE are the beneficiaries. Someone will host this iff it all goes well and that has costs. I've never set any of that type thing up, and geo location locks are considerable right now.

..and something for a laugh to break a heavy mood. Be Upstanding and Carry On, Y'All

breadcrumbs, leave a trail of breadcrumbs.. and a note.

Anyway, the Global Consciousness Experiment/Dean Radin is where it's at. That;s how the global cabal people managed to corral us all, we 'created' it by manifestation: by thinking it into being. If the world vibrated with the sentiment within: https://singjupost.com/full-transcript-president-kennedys-peace-speech-at-american-university-june-10-1963/ well, I'm pretty sure something truly epoch defining would take shape in the cosmic ascension we are in. There's rough patch ahead, but if 8 billion minds sung the same song of love and grace, I would'nt see videos from the east, I don't see on MSN/G7 feeds.
