ballzac Posted September 26, 2012 Just noticed "today's birthdays", and can't help feeling a little sad. She was one of the members I most admired when I first came here and while I never got the opportunity to meet her in person, I always thought there was something special about her. It hasn't been that long, but I'm hoping those that knew her can take this opportunity to think of her and celebrate her life. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alice Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah I saw that too, shame. I only met her once in person at a meet, and though I couldn't say I knew her well, she seemed like a really cool chick. Happy Birthday Penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WoodDragon Posted September 26, 2012 She was a beautiful soul. She filled so many lives, and left an enormous hole when she parted. I still can't grasp that she's gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenris Posted September 26, 2012 I met Penny at the 2009 EGA and thought she was awesome, she had such a warm friendly vibe. I have the 2011 EGA journal on my desk at work and occasionally read through Penny's essay on coming to terms with dying. People of her caliber deserve so much more time on this earth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anodyne Posted September 26, 2012 I want to be sad about this, but Penny was such a damn positive person it just doesn't seem right, so instead... Cheers Penny!

nothinghead Posted September 26, 2012 Penny was someone I felt immediately at ease with. She was warm, friendly, as well as really intelligent and insightful. I can only imagine how aggreived those who knew her well would be about her loss, she's sorely missed even by acquaintences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted September 27, 2012 she was extreemly smart, and a very good cook, and had a lot of other, above average skills. she told me a lot of her life, and a lot of it was very sad, if a person would deserve, to have a long and wonderfull life than it would have to be her.

Darklight Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) We disagreed a bit, we probably would have more only we recognised that in each other and chose to respect the other's position. I liked her anyway. You don't need to agree with people to be aware of the positive contributions they make and to respect their input. I'm glad she made her mark where she did, it was well put I hope wherever she is, she is happy and peaceful. Vale, cobber PS, does anyone have a copy of her 2011 EGA talk or essay? I don't recall if I caught it but I know I hoped to. I hear it was excellent Edited September 27, 2012 by Darklight 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall if I caught it but I know I hoped to. I hear it was excellent She wasn't able to make it to EGA '11 in the end to talk due to her health, but there is a very personal article in the journal from that year that she wrote on the topic of entheogens and death. I contacted her about it a month after EGA and it saddened me to find out that I had been the only person at that stage to contact her to congratulate her on the emotionally moving piece of writing. I'm sure you can purchase the journal on the EGA page if you can't find your own... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obtuse Posted September 27, 2012 Miss you Penny. I so regret being in a silly selfish place last year when my life was really busy and I didnt stop to think. And i knew you were ill, but i trusted that you would beat it and get better. I miss our online conversations, and those time we met was like catching up with an old friend who id always known. Cheers, Ob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted September 29, 2012 I really didn't know penny that well, the last and only time I met her was with cs. We had a huge 1. She seemed lovely and charged! I never knew at all she was sick until bacchant informed me at ega 11. Out of loops am I. Rest in peace penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted September 30, 2012 Love u Penny, will never forget your beautiful smile. Always in my heart. http://www.shaman-au...showtopic=12500 I simply couldn't believe my eyes when i looked at her art in this thread you linked. I saved these pictures to my computer from erowid about three years ago and i loved them so much. I had the cockatoo as my background on my computer for close to a year. I never had anything to do with Penny, but her stunning artwork made an impact on my life when i was very lost. So thank you Penny for sharing the bright side of life with the world 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
