FYI, everyone, there was a typo in the original pasting (damn!). The ending quote was supposed to be: "When death comes, may it find you alive."

What a wonderful way to begin my day. I wish I had gotten to know him too. I'll be thinking of that poem every time I (try to) meditate. Thank you for this tribute to a shining star of awareness. Now it's time for me to go out and make some news of my own.

Hey Jeff, I really enjoyed your latest post. It’s almost as good as seeing you in person. Love, Mickey

Thank you for this warm and (unsurprisingly eloquent) introduction to Scoop! I didn't get to meet him in person when he was alive, but I'm grateful to get to meet him through his works now.

I savored your beautiful tribute over chicken tajine — my first night back in Marrakech and thinking of you (and the wonderful Wes). 💖
