a friend of mine was with him

 

Hillman is gone . . . he died, at home, on Thursday

morning.

At last year's Library of Congress event celebrating the Red Book,

Hillman told a wonderful story about being a young man in Zurich when

Jung died.  Hillman went to Jung's home, a single white lily in his

hand, and was allowed to spend a last moment with Jung.

He remembered walking into the room and being overwhelmed with Jung's

presence - and that Jung only cared about the work . . . the work was

what was important, and Hillman had to get on with the work!

Perhaps today that is the best that we can do as well . . . remember him

with gratitude and fondness . . . and get on with the work.

I'm so sorry Mike . . . it's a blessing, a gift and a loss, all at the

same time.

I'm glad he has you to lean on.
