I started using tribe a few years years ago, about the time I met Howler. I see the connections between us all the way through his tribe profile and mine. After i met him at the intention retreat and was greatly impressed by his work to draw people together and share out of each one's truth, I looked through his tribe profile and recognized a friend's back yard in a picture on the album and went and stalked him. We got to be very close friends, even lovers for a while. He wrote comments on my blogs and photos and i on his.

I am aligned and resonant with Howler's expressed intentions and last year, in response to his callout on tribe, we worked on two projects together, a communication board game and a sacred dance floor. We were both really sensitive and, well, ended up angry at each other, also aware of deep love on both sides.

Howler has now moved on to the afterlife. I and hundreds of others are deeply heartbroken by his sudden departure. He was a wounded healer. His influence on my life is enormous.

Friend, our closeness is this:
Anywhere you put your foot, feel me
in the firmness under you.

How is it with this love,
I see your world and not you?

~~Jalaladdin Rumi
