He gave me a prompt for a book I mostly wrote and which we edited together. That is the legacy of the relationship, and perhaps part of the impetus for me living for now in the middle of nowhere (Adobe Hills), as he did, surrounded by flowers of every kind.

I’m ready for your up-beat poem about the ocean or how the may survive….🙏🎖🌳🌲🦜
