Goodbye, Christopher

"I can't understand you. You speak too fast."

"Yes, but do you understand the system? You need to know what you're drawing better than the people building it."

"It's a great place you're going to. I'm sure you'll love it! I'm just afraid you're going to become a settled Californian and never come back."

That last part turned out to be truer than I'd hoped. I meant to write you and tell you how right you were about so many things, but it's a too late now. I don't think you'd have wanted anyone pouting about it though. It was a great, full life after all, by your own narration.

Goodbye, Christopher! Glad I got to meet you. I'll miss your sharp wit, delightful chattiness and tireless commitment to being true to yourself. 

 You, your work and India House will live on fondly in memory!
