hello zentara,

first I have to admit i'm sad earing this news from you.
Could this cosmic ray be pointed, for example, toward an army vendor's computer?

Have you think about you maybe had to reach your Vaikunthas helping us writing better code?
When Ganesha put some bug in our code or when he incite us in our learning curve?
We all know that you are not really a human: you are just an account on Earth server.
You know: accounts can come back to life with easy (in the hope you'll be back some day).

I have to admit you are right about the illusion of this world. And if the real world
is illusionary so our 'Hello World' programs are illusions in a mirror.
But you can brake these illusions even doing Perl, i hope, as well as looking an apple falling from a tree.

As consolation we can visit your cell here at the monastery to look at some colorfull Tk paints
or to Multithreaded Mandalas.

So this is for you:
.. cos years have passed and things have changed and i move anyway i wanna go i'll never forget the feeling i got when i heard that you'd got home an' i'll never forget the smile on my face 'cos i knew where you would be an' if you're in the crown tonight have a drink on me but go easy...step lightly... stay free

and this one too, if i know you..

...There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone

farewell zentara, a warm hug from Italy and a caress to your dog.
