I am a bit in shock - I checked in to facebook, one of the rare occasions, and saw a note from a couple of months back from Francesca Mariani, my classmate from bryn mawr in the late '80s, about Paul's passing.

Paul made an indelible imprint on my life. Above all, he reset standards for me on what I should expect from my own ruminations, internal life. No small thoughts, small visions, small abstractions here - ideas at scale, that's what Paul symbolized for me.

I am wracked with sorrow that the trip I meant to make, with (re) meeting him as a highlight, never came to pass before his passing. I would really like to know if there will be a fall memorial, and I'd like to make every effort to go.
