William, I just learned of John Carley's passing and wanted to send my sympathies to you. The two of you write such a fine renku which I read in moongarlic.
It wasn't unexpected, but, still a shock to receive the news.
The man carried himself with such grace throughout his ordeal. As was his manner, his first thoughts were always for others. His compassion and care was boundless. And his encouragement of good writing extended to all he worked with. He had a profound effect on my development in this mutual endeavor of ours. Changed my life, actually.

A month of 20 below Celsius is a bit bleak, KB. Sunlight, above freezing on the weekend! Then back we go ...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Tito, is it really hokku? Observational, yes.
Year of the Horse? What will the new year bring, I wonder?
