"When Zhuangzi's wife died and Hui Shi came to convey his condolences, he found Zhuangzi squatting with his knees out, drumming on a pan and singing ''You lived with her she raised your children, and you grew old together, Hui Shi said "Not weeping when she died would have been bad enough. Aren't you going too far by drurnming on a pan and singing ?'

"No," Zhuangzi said, "when she first died how could I have escaped feeling the loss? Then I looked back to the beginning before she had life Not only before she had life but before she had form. Not only before she had form, but before she had vital energy. In this confused amorphous realm, something changed and vital energy appeared,- when the vital energy was changed, form appeared; with changes in form, life began. Now there is another change bringingdeath This is like the progression of the four seasons of spring and fall, winter and summer. Here she was lying down to sleep in a huge room and I followed her sobbing and wailing. When I realized my actions showed I hadn't understood destiny, I stopped."

WHAT? I AM UNDONE. THIS MAN BROUGHT LIGHT TO OUR WORLD AND GAVE US VOICE.
I am no longer a part of that voice. I am proud to have stood by him. But the true spirit of the Empty Flower and the Rum Soaked Fist live on! in all of you.

Death isnt sad. Sad thing is most people spend their lives without living at all....but David lived like thunder.

R.I.P man.

It's sad for a white hair guy to say goodbye to a brown hair guy. See you in our next life.

we never know when. we only know that it will happen.
43 is too young.
rest in peace.

Adios David, RIP

Thank you for everything- You gave every one here- a great place to learn, have fun and share.

You will be missed very much by us all.

My condolences to the family. Thank you for giving us this place, and as long as we continue on here you won't be forgotten.

Servus, Dave!
Völlig unbekannt und doch vertraut, Deine Xingyi-Seiten waren ein toller Einstieg ins Webfu.

Dave,

I'm truly saddened to have lost someone that I had connected with so well whenever we met up. You're my bro and i'll be keeping an eye out for you on the other side. Do not fear death... If anything, accept it as advancing to the next round. The only real fear is to let go of what you had in this life (family, friends...). My heart and fond memories go out to you and your family.
