…and the thought: this, then, is bliss.

When I came back, full of my emptiness,

things were a vivid presence once again,

not separate, but a part of me, as always.

For all who were with us for Howard’s memorial, in presence and in spirit, we are grateful. I would especially like to thank Meagan Asplin and Joshua Schoenfield for their help in putting this together.
