Ah, Howard. Naropa 1976, visit to your farm in Missouri in 1977 on the way back to Naropa, teaching me the beauty of back roads rather than the interstate, the book, The Truck as a paen to old and vintage stuff, trip to Mexico with a stop off at your parents’ home in Arizona, eating fresh fish on the shore of Baja with salsa so hot it created blisters on my lips but couldn’t stop eating it, road trip to Vermont for dathun trying to cross the Bay Bridge with no cash to pay the toll, running out of gas on the NJ turnpike, Boulder working for the mental health center, Wolfville at his home in 2017 where I weeded his yard and he gave me a copy of Katherine Hepburn’s Lion in Winter movie (my favorite movie of all time).
Ah , Howard, what a long strange trip it’s been. See you on the other side 💜
