Oh my gosh, how beautifully said. ( Also non-believer ) Like so many, trying to be greateful at this time, that I had the opportunity to come to know his music and see him live.

"I keep reminding myself that Prince didn't belong to any of us. He belongs to God, who so graciously loaned him to us for 57 years. Prince isn't dead, he did his tour of duty here, and went home. That's really all that happened. All things being equal, we'll see him again within the next 100 years at Paisley Park Eternal."

I cannot get mired down in the why's and the what for's. It's too hurtful. Devastating really. I want Prince back here too, but sadly that won't happen.

I also refuse to blame him, or anyone around him for now. There are simply too many unknown variables. We all know that Prince was his own man, and did things his way. I sometimes think that he knew the end was near, walked into that elevator specifically to make his transition to the Man upstairs, fully aware that his fans would immediately recognize the dark irony of it. Sorta like Bowie backing into that wardrobe, and closing it at the end of the Lazarus video.

That's what I wanted to know before folks here started debating about pot.

Anger is part of grief for some. If you feel like blaming him or others, don't be too hard on yourself cause they're just thoughts and most likely temporary ones that'll pass . Just find it in you to empathize or have compassion towards him, through forgiveness if that works or celebrating his music and character, so you're not letting it drain you physically. At this point we don't know much and we will get thoughts like that, and ones we never would have expected. Self-care everyone, is so important. Sorry if I sound like a broken record in light of what's happened but I really empathize with you and went through some Tough times when another artist passed and felt silenced or misunderstood about how I was processing it

According to Prince Vault that was when recording began on the song [it was initially tracked on that date]
