My body will be cremated on the day of my death, and the remains will be placed in a disposable container. The ashes will include the contents of this box and a picture of my wife, Kathy. Alone, these things reveal little about a long and wonderful life filled with rich and diverse experiences. Some of those experiences have been shameful and perverse, for which I make no apologies. I merely ask forgiveness from those I have hurt or offended. It was never my intent.
For I have been truely blessed
THEREFORE
– Surrendered now are the fettered
threads of moments well spent
as generations break to be born again;
to dwell eternally at boundary’s end –
