Lorne Blair great loss

Lorne Blair great loss

A creative light has been lost. Lorne Blair, film maker,
writer, bon vivant, raconteur and adventurer, died recently in
Bali.

Lorne and his brother Lawrence, brought Indonesia to the
attention of the wider world with their film The Ring of Fire --
a film that captured a rapidly fading collage of cultures before
the inexorable march of development began to homogenize the
wonders of Indonesia.

To those of us who could only marvel at the dust his feet left
behind as they flew through life, Lorne's loss is enormous. This
is not only an obituary but an expression of profound blessing.
That we knew him and had time to share his laughter and the odd
bottle of wine is of great joy. That he has gone, reminds us of
the importance of living with integrity and with an eye on
freedom. May your spirit fly.
