2. Oh, Bjorn, this is wonderful. I too was thinking of Robin today. We visited an art gallery and they had a beautiful chalice that reminded me of the Holy Grail – and of his role as Perry the homeless man in Fisher King – whose mission was to regain the Holy Grail. Robin really did wear his many faces and voices as masks – but if you looked into his eyes sometimes you could see the sadness.

7. ah — how often does a smile mask a weeping heart. Very beautiful haiku.

8. I linked his death with Smokey Robinson’s song “Tears of a Clown”. You never know what someone is feeling.

9. Just how he touched our life and he was all the while lonely! Nicely Bjorn!
