The Provenance of Stars

R.I.P. Chris Nickel: friend, colleague.

Your kind, dryly witty, meticulous, nature-loving, pistol-packing soul will forever walk the trails at Hovenweep National Monument.

The smell of sage will always remind me of you now; and I will always be convinced that shooting star I saw was you, laughing.
