This man is large in my pantheon of superheroes.
A kind facilitator and generous ear, I have witnessed
him coaxing meaning and revelation from so many
of us, in so many contexts, that it becomes a thread
and fabric all its own. A worshipper of the God within
us all, he carries the light and responsibility of that
priesthood beautifully, inviting each of us to recognize
the value that we carry.

Easily the most versed person in popular culture
I have ever encountered, and among the best
story-tellers, the best weavers of significance,
the most ardent fans of trivia, esoterica and assorta,
somehow able to give them all their due -- he is also
among the most ardent fans of our communal culture
and the mystery school of electronica.

This man is a king, in the tradition of the kings of old:
a seeker, and servant of the Nation.

May peace upon him,
and upon Thee, who cultivates his company.
