Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, nick named 'the big Yin' died years ago

I clearly remember him dying probably 2015 or 2016ish roundabout that period, he's had progressive Parkinson's disease for years yet he's still here the legend that he is in Scotland & the UK.

Anyone else have a memory of him dying?

In Scottish slang, "The Big Yin" translates to "The Big One." It is an affectionate term of endearment and respect given to the legendary Scottish comedian and actor Sir Billy Connolly, reflecting both his towering physical stature and his massive cultural status.

The present doesn't come from the past & It never did

We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen.

The present isn't caused by or emerging from the past—it's the other way around, everything arises fresh right now, out of "nowhere" like sound emerging from silence

The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.

The universe (or your life) is continually beginning in the present moment.

Its also about getting out of our normal ruts of thinking about the world.
