Hi Wol, I think you might be right....Mark

[@bodhi9464]

Rest In Peace Paul.. deepest sympathies to you and your family Mark 🙏🏼 🇦🇺

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Paul, many thanks for your condolences. It's appreciated. We didn't get married or have children he was my family. Take care. Mark

[@bodhi9464]

Wye Explorer yes mate; my Mrs is an identical twin and as you know many studies done over the years .. a lot don’t separate in life and I know when my sister in law’s over - can’t separate them! Thanks for your reply mate - subscribed and you’ve given me further inspiration through the clips I’ve watched 🙏🏼🇦🇺

[@WyeExplorer]

@@bodhi9464 Thank you so much Paul. You share the same name. Awesome. Yeah there is only one twin flame. You can find another soul mate but not the former. I've not wanted to be here but I've got this far. Have a good day and a big thank you. Glad I've inspired you brother. Peace!

[@bodhi9464]

Wye Explorer mate, just as another off shoot - my great grandfather owned and lived on the “Wye estate” Bundarawela - in the tea country of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I’m born and bred here in Australia 🇦🇺 but I love that country and I hope you can visit there too 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🏄🏽‍♂️💦

A truly touching tribute and beautifully put together.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Ana, thank you so much for watching. A simple video but so poignant. I miss him every day. All the best. Mark

[@Wizardinthewild]

So sad for your loss. Paul seemed a great guy. What a beautiful video to play to see him off. Don’t really know what to say. Just glad we got to know him a little bit. Stay strong. 😞

[@WyeExplorer]

Thank you Graham/Ellie. Yes, Paul and I never got married or had children and lived together/proper twins you read about. So, when he died the magnetic pull to be with him was powerful. I'm glad you've come here to. He was an incredible person - very kind and sensitive. Thanks again. Mark

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@WyeExplorer can’t imagine how hard it was for you to lose your brother and soulmate. 😔A part of him journeys with you in the beautiful and wild places you visit still. Singing bowls are incredible. I have one ( Ellie) and our daughter does sound baths with crystal bowls. It’s like nothing else. So otherworldly. Stay strong. We will catch up with you and of course Paul in your vlogs. Safe travels 🙏❤️

[@cynergy4]

Oh Mark, what a touching and sweet tribute to Paul! We are sad of his passing but we can still celebrate the wonder-full life that he lived. I'm sorry that I didn't know him sooner and we were just getting to know each other, but I felt a kindred spirit in him, and in you also. It seems like you and Paul weren't only twins in a physical way, but twin spirits as well. It must be terribly difficult to adjust to a life without him here, but he will always be with you. He is out there somewhere blazing a trail for his brother. Peace be with you and your family.

[@WyeExplorer]

Cynthia these are wonderful words. You did know him and he spoke of you when I would watch him on facebook and ask who he was writing to. The fondness was clear. Yes we were heart and soul....never married and always exploring together. The space left is a painful one but will be filled with life. Thank you my friend. Take good care. Mark.

[@cynergy4]

Mark, I've gotten to know him even more through you. I am so pleased to have you as a friend, a positive thing to come out of this. I didn't know that he was shy, as am I, also never married. I also didn't know that he was into sacred sounds. There is so much that I wish I had shared with him before, but he knows my heart, and he will always have a place there. I know that this separation is only temporary and that he will be waiting to greet us. I hope that you find someone who sees into your soul, and can be a companion to explore with. Paul would smile.

[@WyeExplorer]

***** Thank you Cynthia. Yes he left a legacy in you and others and for that I am very happy. He was very shy but also brave. I feel him though you and I'm sure he is beside you sending you positive messages still. We will meet again. In the mean time he has made a deposit in me and there he dwells and elsewhere. Peace my friend. Mark.

[@cynergy4]

Thank you for the kind comfort of your words

[@liljo61]

What a beautiful tribute and video Mark, I remember Paul from when I lived in St.James' some years ago, always a gentleman. There is no easy way through grief just follow your heart. Blessings x

Hi there my friend. They were good days them....very crazy but as you say Paul was always on the side of decency. Yes it is hurting and I will have to go with the flow like the rivers. Peace there. Mark.

[@irishdragon2311]

Oh my what a beautiful loving tribute. You both look so at peace and in your element together in nature. Almost brought a tear to my eye, I guarantee you Paul is now up in heaven looking down each day smiling and happy in the though you'll be reunited one day that's for sure.

[@WyeExplorer]

Aaah thank you Tony. It means a lot to me you watching and commenting. I see your comment on our other thread and know you lost your own brother - so yeah you no the cavernous space these things losses behind. I've already had a direct link to Paul. Many thanks. Mark

[@TheNottmLass]

Ay-up Wye Explorer! Thank you for sharing this video with me Mark. What a beautiful video. Your twin brother Paul would be so proud of you. He sounds like the kinda guy you’d want to be friends with for a lifetime. I can completely see the likeness in the two of you and that must be somewhat comforting. It’s put a tear in my eye to know that the great outdoors is something that made him so happy. I can totally relate to that. The shots are absolutely beautiful aswell as the music. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and I’m always a message away if you need someone to talk to. May he rest in peace ❤️

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there friend in the Notts county. Yes, Paul was my dearest friend. We didn't get married or have children and lived together as well as explore the outdoors. We were proper twins if you like for 48 years. I lost my family there. But you know the outdoors or should I say the river system we set out to explore (please do take a look at the channel Wye Explorer when you have the time) drew me in more closely when Paul died. It's there I had the best conversations and the clearest dialogue. In fact I can go anywhere in the Wye catchment and see him and me hiking and camping. You know personally what it does to you out there. It fills you up with light. Anyway, thank you for coming on over. I appreciate that. All the best. Mark

[@TheNottmLass]

@@WyeExplorer I can imagine you two were joined at the hip, which is amazing because you must have thousands of memories to look back on aswell as the many videos Paul made. I will defo take a look at more of your content. Yeah, you're right. The outdoors really does feel you with light. It's amazing how powerful it actually is. The best drug for feeling on top of the world!!! x

[@WyeExplorer]

@@TheNottmLass Without doubt we lived a lot together but we did our own thing to. I'm blessed with the memories. I have a friend who lost his twin some years before and he has only scant photos. I totally support you in continuing our search for the light in nature. Awesome. Well, I'll return again. Have a great day.

Thank you so much Angela. I have thought about how I am going to start walking and camping again. It's going to be hard at times I am sure but it's out there where he was happiest and it's where he will often be closest to me. Every footstep and breath I take I will seek joy in his memory.

Wye Explorer Strange and remarkable. Back in the early '70s we would say it was, "cosmic." I still think that may be appropriate, but at a much deeper level than I knew back then.

@@JamieHarding5 That's so kind of you Jamie. Yeah, I didn't want to be here for a long time but I am.

Just had this video come up in my feed. No one can understand the loss you have had to endure but you seem remarkably strong, helped no doubt by all the love from all your friends. I love how you keep his memory alive. It’s been a privilege to watch your wonderful videos and be a part of your story. As you say, life must continue, but you carry a heavy burden. Thanks for sharing this. Your friend, Andrew.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Andrew, thank you so much for visiting this video. My loss is entwined with the circumstances at the time like so many other losses are. Loss if we strip back any disparity is the same. But we are different stories, classes, journeys and so on. The nature of the grief therefore is linked to the story. Me and Paul found ourselves in a remote place living together with only a few friends. We didn't get married or have children - we were living together and so therefore proper twins in mid life if you like. His loss almost killed me. The pain is still hard because I've had no family to carry me through either. Yeah it;s been terrible but it's his spirit that's kept me going. KZbin is an illusion. I have cried and expressed internal thoughts but most - the vast majority goes unseen a bit like an ice burg. You must kn ow this. Any way, I thank you. I do class you as a friend. Your videos and life speak to me. That's a comfort. All the best my friend. Mark

[@garnforaratch]

So sorry for your loss. A heartfelt tribute. In Sympathy Roger & Diane

Hi Mark. I seen it has been 7 years gone since you lost your beloved Paul, but I'm sure he will be walking every step on your journeys with you. I just watched one of your most recent videos where you spoke about feeling him all around you. Just beautiful.. I always remember knowing of the jickle brothers and great DJs from back in the day. But it has been very enjoyable watching a few videos a learning a little more about our river wye paths and also about You and Paul. This is such a wonderful tribute to him. And I am so so pleased you carried on for the two of you. 🤗 I hope to be back at the pool sometime soon, just recovering from this op before having another. So when I finally get back look forward to seeing you come in for your swim and find out more about your book. ❤

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Jane, yes it's with me always the time - he sure is there. A huge thanks for tuning in. Paul kept emerging from within me - his character. He was very close. So glad you've seen another side to us - many people chose not too. The Wye is amazing - we found that out and am so pleased you are too - glad you like the tribute. See you back at the pool some day healed - I hope it works out. Thanks Jane - take care out there. Mark

That's a cracking tribute, Mark. I don't know who's given it the thumbs down, they've got no soul. I'll balance it out with thumbs up 101. BTW not seen or heard anyone playing the Jews harp in many a year, forgot what a distinctive sound it makes. I think at some point I'll add some of that to one of our videos and when/if I do, you know where the inspiration came from.

[@WyeExplorer]

Thank you Lee for watching. it means a lot to me. Not sure who did the thumbs down but they have to be ill. Paul used to bring the Harmonica out on hikes to. At the end of my next video series I play it. I'm not great it's just a sound like the Jews harp - a good one! By all means get the instrument out. Well, have a great day. All the best. Mark

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Alan, it's as though Paul knew he was going. He was an elite swimmer and like the trail runs. He trained hard but at crap. 3 block of cheese to my one. He forced blood through a narrowed vessel at high pressure and a tiny bit of plaque broke away. Bang! I haven't been able to smile much Alan. We didn't get married, we lived together. We were proper twin brothers who would go out wild camping also. So a big loss - he was my family. Any way, I am fighting on and will make it through. Many thanks for taking the time to watch and for your warm comment. All the best. Mark.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Just reading what I wrote 3 months ago Mark and the final seconds of the video still hit me when I re watched this. It reminds me of a photo I have of my dad, who passed away 2 years ago, after I was leaving and paying him and my mother a visit. The photo showed my dad waving and every time I looked at the photo it seemed to be him waving goodbye to me. I found it impossible to look at the photo for a long time but now, when I see the photo, I also see the smile on his face and that is what I remember. We are all on a journey and one day we will all meet again. Cheers and best regards, Alan

[@barnowlterry]

Well done mate thinking about you. Terry

[@WyeExplorer]

Thank you Terry. He was a wonderful brother...the good and not so good. Great memories. Mark.

[@davidkeel]

Thank you Mark. Must have been unbearable at times for you and your family. God Bless.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Dave, it's been a mind blowing time. A real bolt out of the blue. Thank you and take great care. Catch you up. Mark.

[@davidkeel]

Thanks Mark

I think that people we lose know how much we care for them, if we argue and don't patch it up before they die we blame ourselves. one conversation or missed opportunity is not a representation for a lifetime of relationships. However short or long life is, its best to be true to yourself first and know that a moment in time did not decide the destination. A life may have many or few twists and turns but the entrance and departure or destination remains the same. Paul is in every video, past present and future. I see him.

[@WyeExplorer]

You know what Fazza, Paul has been in touch and so I get what you mean about them knowing. I have to say i did impact upon his self esteem in life though and for that I have been sorry. He did things mind you and so it is equal. You;re right to say that one moment is not the total story. I thank you Fazza for all your kind words. You have had a difficult experience i can sense this. You are strong to - your words tell me this. Take care. Mark

​@@WyeExplorer I am a raindrop in an ocean full of tears (A quote from a Passenger song kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ2VeKqCqbKLbdU) feel free to use anything I say or quote, i try to credit the owner when I use their words, anyone can use words its just the order you put them in. ;) I apologise for quoting song lyrics but i get so much from them i just want to share the emotional pull i get from them with you. the song and the comments on youtube make me cry every time.

[@WalksWithOlly]

A beautiful tribute, Mark. I hope that producing and releasing this has also helped you in some way.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Olly, it is helpful. These are the first replies in a number of weeks. I was just to tired. All the best. Mark.

[@SamsonsLeader]

Mark I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a brother. Stay strong. My thoughts are with you. ATB Muddy.

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Muddy, yes it is very cavernous and a big space I see before me. I am still being loving to the world though and good things do appear. All the best my friend. Mark.

[@SamsonsLeader]

Wye Explorer Whilst watching this very touching short film of your brother I am reminded of the book "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse. Watching Paul sit in silence on the riverbank I can't help but remember the universal peace and tranquility that Siddhartha felt in his final moments. Please read the book if you haven't. I think you will enjoy it and be comforted by it. ATB Muddy.

[@WyeExplorer]

This is my dear late twin brother Paul. Thank you for the visit. Mark

[@ianroughley1933]

I found I could not leave a comment on the last vid as I had no words for you. But that was great, very nice. Don't know if he was buried or not but if not I think I can hazard a guess which river his asses would spread around :) Peace. Hope this life set back does not knock you too much...

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Ian, yeah we have a few ideas amid the Wye. He swam in it lots over the years. Many thanks for commenting. All the best to you. Mark.

[@WyeExplorer]

My dear late twin brother Paul. Thanks. Mark

[@ABritInThePhilippines]

Back again Mark for another view and to pay my respects to Paul.. He would be proud of you mate to see what you have done here.. life can be a real bitch sometimes, he was way too young to checking out.. Hey take it easy there, speak soon my friend... Carl

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Carl, yeah a real bitch with the cards it plays. I've been hurting but been making moves.....another world view and future. I must say I am proud of Paul. He was a decent man. Take Carl and be blessed mate. Mark.

[@TrudyPatootie]

Mark.. I'm the twin you wrote a nice message to.. the only thing you got wrong was that I am a woman.. ha.. Jude was my twin. You asked for my name. FB Trudy Hylant.. and I'll give you my email if you message me on Facebook. Love Trudy ( This beautiful tribute put me in tears.. AGAIN! Thanks A lot.. jeeze.. xo

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi there Trudy, so sorry for getting the gender wrong. I'm all of a dream sometimes. Jude is a nice name. I can hear you you using it - hey Jude, morning Jude, are you OK Jude? I am the same. In fact I imagine Paul coming through the door and I actually say, "Alright Paul?" as if he is there. I like using his name. I will reach out on face book. Many thanks for watching the video and contacting me. I think it's important to share our experiences. Take care Trudy. All the best. Mark

[@TrudyPatootie]

Hi Mark.. I love connecting with someone who is on the same page as I am. Some book eh? Yes I talk to Jude ( Of course her real name is Judy..but I've called her Jude since babies) I talk to her all the time. And yes I love to say her name too. I have " Hey Jude" tattooed on my hip. The one difference between you and I.. I can NOT look at a picture of her. ( You said you shared photos with others) There is no way I can look at a picture ( None on wall for me) She is EVERYWHERE WITH ME. She is in every breath I take. BUT my coping mechanism is avoidance. sigh.. I'm glad we got to gab.. Maybe Paul and Jude arranged it ..ha.. My husband has the patience of a Saint, but he just doesn't get the twin connection. xo Trudy

[@WyeExplorer]

Trudy I can understand how Judy is in every breath you take. I see the spirit of Paul inside of me, which is beautiful and unusual at the same time. I think when Paul died I was determined to embrace the pain. I kissed him and said on his death bed when he died, "I accept it Paul. I let you in now." I think what i was saying was that I know what's coming and it is all you. Your husband sounds great 0 but yeah I found few who understand. It's been super lonely but I speak and receive Paul all the time. I've looked on facebook. Are you the fair brown haired Trudy from Florida? If so I have the page. Any way, it's been really good chatting - see you on facebook. Take care....

[@TrudyPatootie]

Yes that is me.. Oh yes.. I embrace the pain too. I never open up to people like I have you..Wanted you to know that Yes.. I know what you are going through on a daily basis. And how you feel when you let your guard down. POW.. I hear a song.. and " THAT'S IT.. TEARS FLOW.." I smell her perfume on someone.. " Tears Flow.." and you can forget about seeing twin babies in a stroller.. OMG.. Yes.. and then I'll give you my email on facebook. You take care too my friend.

[@WyeExplorer]

I'm happy that you can open up. Me to. It's super spooky - I'm here on a Friday evening now wondering how I can reach out and touch Paul. He's in space and I wanna touch him - write him a letter. Wow, always there. I'll reach out on FB. Peace!
