I am reminded of ‘Carpe Diem’. We must do our best to live our lives fully and joyously, to support each other, to support our assaulted yet wonderful and sustaining natural world.
I sense that Beebs and Scott and now Chris would want us to do so. Beeb’s poetry is on my bedside and continues to inspire me.
Thanks to his good friend, Luge, I’m reminded that Chris had some truly joyous moments; may those and his remarkable brilliance and his good nature continue to inspire us.
Have missed Chris for decades but think often of our exploits afield & his quick dry wit – we all miss him!
