farewell Elliott Johnson
i remember when i first met him at super Dave‘s ramp way back in the day and was amazed at his super smooth and floaty style.. way before burnside either the SEL crew would all take the bus and meet us NWC at Rebel Skates or MLC then we would skate all the way over to southeast or we would all take the bus to southeast and meet at either Terran’s, Rico’s or Myg’s and then skate to northwest everyone back then had a completely original unique super dope style and bag of tricks but Elliot had one of the smoothiest styles of probably anyone I’ve ever known or seen then later on during the birth and golden age of Burnside skating every day with him until our legs cramped and then we would go to Sheridan to get bananas his light in this world was very rare and bright.. his warm charisma smile and positivity could light up any room -I can still hear the sound of his laughter in my soul lost contact with him for a number of years but then over the last couple years been connecting with him more online and was instantly reminded of how contagious his positive vibe is.. and got word that he was clean and sober and doing really well.. I wish I would have physically connected with him in more recent times 😔 this is another reminder for us to really check in on our love ones and take care of ourselves.. life is so fragile and tomorrow is never promised.. every moment of life is precious.. light a candle and count your blessings Elliott Johnson -a true original legendary pillar in Portland skateboarding hall of fame 🕯🏆⭐️🎈❤️‍🔥💫 like most of us today i’ve been meditating and reflecting on the passing of our og brother EJ and wile tuning into his energy, this beat came in.. it feels like he made it with or through me because to me it feels like him.. snagged some old footage from @barnoskates and 411 along with a couple photos and threw together this tribute to celebrate and honor him Elliott Johnson -a true original legendary pillar in Portland skateboarding hall of fame 🕯🏆⭐️🎈❤️‍🔥💫 we love you Elliott 🕯💜🕯 tomorrow is never promised.. check on your loved ones and make sure to let them know how much you appreciate them ⭐️ for everyone who is feeling the hurt of loss, i would like to offer this to you in hopes that it adds ease and comfort.. about 19 years ago i found myself in the ICU dying and coming back over and over for about two weeks.. going out the body through the tunnel into pure love light✨💛✨ there are a couple good documentaries telling the stories of the same thing happening to many people in their own unique experiences of it.. for me i remember going into this field of pure love that was so powerful it would incinerate a physical body I doubt it is possible to really know the full extent of pure divine love on that level here in this limited little incarnation but i’ll just say it was the most beautiful loving unified feeling and reminder of where we all come from.. literally being all of creation at the same time and remembering the veil of amnesia slipped away and slowly countless loved ones (including pets) from countless incarnations surrounded me in the form that i last remembered them.. (even though we have all played so many roles in various names and forms) everything was instant telepathy heart to heart pure knowing communication and in the eye smiles of so many loved ones, i remembered there was no such thing as a death of a soul.. i was then greeted by arch angel Gabriel who with this heart to heart telepathy said these simple words that still resonate throughout all my samskaras and soul’s journey: “LOVE is the ONLY TRUE reality, all else is an illusion” it was the most beautiful reunion celebration and all we could do is laugh in bliss reflecting your own universal love ease and grace back to you ❤️‍🔥
