Lucky you, Dave!

The International Herald Tribune has an excellent bio/obit on him. I liked this bit, esp.:

"Everything is connected," Jim Chee reflects in "Ghostway" (1984). "The wing of the corn beetle affects the direction of the wind, the way the sand drifts, the way the light reflects into the eye of man beholding his reality. All is part of totality, and in this totality man finds his hozro, his way of walking in harmony, with beauty all around him."

I didn't see the PBS series, but do have all of his books. Time to read them, again, indeed.
