When The Spirit Slips Away
This story might be rather a shame.
It will be ???? for you but the most impressive and unforgettable matter that happened during the stay in Dublin.
Back to the story of the previous day, 2nd Jan. After the breakfast I went out to see the statue in town, anyhow it would be a kind of duty for me. It was still a bit dark outside (because of Irish winter morning) but anyway I reached there. It was a moment just like 'I eventually met him'.
Have taken photos then I was just leaving there… at the time I saw the face or eyes of the statue moved. I watched again but nothing wrong…
There was no one around there… for a while I was absent-minded.
The story continues. On the same day we went to Mrs. Lynott's house. As it was not the first time for me to visit there so I know well about the house.
When I was alone in Philip's memory room, looking photos and Gold disks then someone entered into the room. I thought it was probably Hiroshi or Jimmy, so turned back and talk to the guy… but actually there was no one. Only Philip's life-size picture was there.
It was so weird. Originally I have no interests in ghost and do not believe in any kind of spiritual world. But I started to think something unusual has been happening around me.
I'd spoken to Jimmy before the practice session about the series of strange happenings. (First of all I said to him 'Do not laugh no matter what I tell you now'.)
Even after listening to me Jimmy did say nothing (usually he talks back to me)
I thought it was bore story for him so I should have not told it.
Then the practice started. I found something strange… Jimmy's not singing in a normal condition, he had tears in eyes. He was trying to hide it but I did recognize that he was crying. As I was surprised just repeated 'Jimmy, are you ok ?'
Jimmy immediately rushed into the toilet and probably removed tears using tissue.
I did not ask what happened or why cried… and no explanation from Jimmy also.
With such a background we proceeded our practice in the afternoon just before Pre-Vibe.
Yes, when looking through the finder I found something unusual.
My eyes got moist with tears even feeling no sadness, having no reason to cry.
Taking a moment then tried to take a photo again but I could not stop the tears, even I do not understand what was happening to me. However removed tears by the sleeve it would never stop. I should say I was crying rather than with tears,
Yes, exactly crying bitterly then I accepted this situation.
Smiley was beside me… what he thought…?
A guy, perhaps a camera man sympathized me with tapping my shoulder.
I was keeping the handkerchief all the time.
Jimmy came back from the stage, seeing my appearance he hugged my head gently. Although, I could say nothing even desired 'leave me alone'.
Jimmy's gone but still for a while I kept crying.
When I could get back myself was the time 'Baby drives me crazy' was playing.
