An Ode to the #LateNateDogg

I woke up to tweets about the late Nate Dogg, it felt like I was being punked and somebody, anybody would say it was a mistaken assumption yet that aside a part of me feels like we have been here before... no this is real yet so surreal...

thegame R.I.P. Nate Dogg. Why does it take Death to remind us about the importance of life ??? Cherish every moment cuz tomorrow he mite call your #

We are treasures and sometimes we are so busy going about our own paces we forget that other people existed. In 140 characters the most beautiful-est things are shared and we remember your greatness in an instant for we are now hit by the most unifying thing that exists, death, as its shock waves leave ripples that cross the sea of divide binding it with the pain. How mutually we coexist with it amongst us.

SnoopDogg We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb. One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met

We are in a space of hurt and memory capsules open up to reveal that which we have cherished in each other.

We are comforted by words of compassion.

Death touches us different and makes us realise that the hustle is continual, reminds us of those we have lost closest to us when someone else dies. And sometimes we get so crushed even though the person who has recently passed was further from our immediate lives but because we are created human: we breathe and feel the pain as our own. None of us can take away the journey those closest to Nate Dogg have now embarked upon, may God be with them as affirmed by Monica in her Psalms tweet.

Nate Dogg lives on in all that he shared of himself as an artist in music with us, the world, this is best expressed by Erykah Badu a.k.a @fatbellybella...
