I got word, first thing when I woke up, of the passing of a peer – Francesco Carrara. Francesco was a very talented student at Art Center and I had known him since my first terms at Art Center. I've been struggling with how to express myself over everything that has flooded in to my memory over the last few hours, but I'll just say that I have nothing but fond memories of this bright young man and dare I say friend. With my fellow Trans & Product peers we, with Francesco, spent many late nights, sketching and working often to the sounds of his music or movies in room 202. Later as he became more connected to the world of sustainability, our conversations grew in frequency about how to change the world for the better and then most recently, through Errol Gersons' class and Sunday meetings in the park we continued to debate and discover the future fate of things. Francesco was an impassioned man, striving for truth and his place within the world.
For the first time now, as I posted his picture to this blog, did it really hit me that I would never see his face again. *pause* thats all I can type for now...
Rest in Peace Francesco, Rest in Peace...

well said. He lived with intent and i think no one can ask for anymore. Everything he did was a result of what he believed it and nothing less. He lived life to his fullest during his short time here and i sure we're all to have been part of it as his was in ours. I don't think he'll be missed as much as he's remembered. :)
