Fans loved calling MacKenzie their sunshine, and he had no problem with that, he liked making people happy and sunlight was warm and gentle and needed on this earth of course.

But the secret he'd never tell was those moments where he'd live for the darkest ink black of skies, maybe highlighted by just a small silver trace of the moon. Much less never tell why he enjoyed it so much.

He could give the simple artist's explanation of finding inspiration during nighttime, but that was only a truth and not the truth.

As a child MacKenzie had been afraid of the dark like many children are, but somewhere along the way he learned to embrace the mystery of shadows, not to lose himself in them but to dance with them in silent proclamation that he was no longer afraid.

Once one had been close to the edge of being lost in darkness and pulled back by miracle of miracles, they could say they earned the right to dance and tease. To almost be lost was to truly find yourself.
