He became our beloved Brother Asaiah
His consciousness propels our lives,
in directions we often know not where
but the path is not unknown.
He expressed his truth,
international, intercultural and universal,
in the last frontier on this earth,
in our little town at the end of the road,
Homer, Alaska, our
“Cosmic Hamlet by the Sea”


...Toss into a blender 1 part eastern mystic,
2 parts Old Testament prophet,
3 parts wounded warrior,
4 parts aging flower child
and from the mix at least the essence of the man emerges...

~Jay Hammond, 1922-2005, Beloved Governor of Alaska, 1974-1982
