He is buried almost at the ends of the earth where I'm sure he tried to escape his demons in a grove of trees, and people still go there to find him. I left him a pencil in hopes of his blessing, other people loose change, and one person, a beer. I am sure that was his favorite. Great poem. "remembering the art of surviving", "proving that happiness is not, the . . . gathering angels of abundances of . . .", "being within the internal garden of spiritual wealth . . ."
Why is it so many of the great minds have tormented souls? I just watched Mrs. Doubtfire and had that thought about him too. 😥
What an ode to a famous creator of fiction that could in a way be nonfiction.
AMEN . . .
Hemingway changed how we write. Respect to the Man. Rest in peace
