I only met David once - in 2003 - at a workshop in New Jersey where he opened my eyes to Clean Language and Space, cosmologies of the psyche, and his playful, brilliant mind. I never saw or spoke to him again, but those few days with him were enough to inspire me to write my Master's Paper, 3 years later, on his work. I dug up that paper after learning of David's death and re-read the quotes I had added in my introduction. They seemed fitting when I chose them, and they seem fitting now.
My gratitude and deepest respect to you, David.

Even so large as the universe outside is the universe within the lotus of the heart.
Within it are heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the lightning and all the stars. Whatever is in the macrocosm is in the microcosm also.
- Chandogya Upanishad

Through all beings spreads the one space
the world's inner space. Silently fly the birds
all through us. O I who want to grow,
I look outside, and it is in me that the tree grows!
- Rainer Maria Rilke

With love,
Kerry
