Yes, Owen is gone. He is living a quiet live of solitude and contemplation and caring for his elderly mother. He has grown more sensitive and compassionate than ever. He is perhaps the most spiritual man I've ever known. We communicate from time to time, but I try and respect his desire for solitude. He wrote me a while back that he did not miss Curezone anymore; sadly, those of us who believe in this site and what it originally was still miss Owen and his gentle wisdom. How sad he was pushed out by a handful of cyber-losers. Fortunately we still have his Website here while those horrible blogs are bits and bytes of flotsam in an endless sea of deleted garbage. Next time you talk to 9th body, tell her some of the blogs survive, only the really awful ones are gone. Say Hi to all your other personalities too, past and present.
