Living an examined life would not be the same without a cogent, rational voice like Gary's. His work has had a profound impact on me, as I remember reading YBOP during a critical period where I was feeling stuck, but on the road to asking better questions.
A sincere thanks seems to always admit the 'thank you' is not enough.
As a total stranger, and someone who knew Gary only through books, interviews, and lectures, I pass it along anyway.
Thank you.
