Daniel Quinn- His essence lives As I walk on the ground in the railyard, as I take trips to Madrid and as I breath in his words As written in ISHMAEL.

Daniel and Rennie never far from memory

Oh my Rennie, two years and I saw the 25th anniversary edition in Santa Fe ARK Bookstore and learned of Daniels passing.
A huge loss accompanied by HUGE memories and many cultural “awakenings” of your life here that later took you to Houston! I think of you. Penny

Thank you, Daniel, for changing my life, and then, in your last year, while working on your last piece, you took time to read my email and personally sign and send me copies of books and previous editions of those books. You were, are and always will be a visionary and a hero, no matter how humble you were!

No, Daniel - way too soon! You had so much more to teach the world, and especially me. We are all more alone now, without the ongoing light of your developing vision. We must turn to one another - as you have always taught - and be "B" - as we surrender you to the sure-and-certain hope of greater glory. Thank you, my brother.

Blessings as you make your transition to a freer existence. Ishmael helped me to see more clearly...thus act with intention. May we all reach our highest incarnation possible in this lifetime. Minding the Light ~ Lady Gwen

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the words of ~1 Thessalonians 4:14 can serve as a hope to you all.

Thank you, and rest peacefully.

Thank you for "Ishmael" and all the words you've written and ideas you birthed.

I suspect that 100 years from now, your books will still be in print and I hope, widely understood.
