Who else would have used a physics metaphor for a crumbling life - and made it work? And I haven’t forgotten the “the laws of curved spacetime” in “Surf And/Or Die,” or the Icarus metaphor barely a line earlier… Damn. I miss that mind so much.

God, this is gorgeous- honestly, too much emotion involved to even try to assess what’s missing and how it might have grown. What a gift in these tired difficult days. Thank you.
