Ursula Le Guin has died, sadly but not unexpectedly. Locus has an obituary, which is reasonably good though I disagree with them on what constitutes nonfiction (Dancing at the Edge of the World could be shelved there, or as poetry or fiction) but Always Coming Home, which I love enough to have had a heyiya-if tattooed on my arm, is fiction, whether or not it counts as a novel.
The New York Times obituary has more biographical detail (but a limit on how many articles they want to show you per month).
Unceasing, unending, unobstructed,
open, ongoing, incoming,
ever, ever, ever.

One year, on or a little after the Spring Equinox, I sent her as a gift a poem I had written. In the letter, I wrote "Wherever they are, the people of the Na Valley are dancing the World tonight."
I calligraphed the letter and poem. The ampersand was a modified heyiya-if.
She replied with a postcard that I still have: "It is good to be understood."
(Both your links go to the Locus obituary. I would swear that a few minutes ago one went to the Times one.)

I don't know what's going on with those links, but I'll see if I can fix it.

Bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky.
Thank you, Ms. Leguin. So much.

I have been wondering, not seriously, about sometime getting a tattoo, but I didn't know of what. Now it's just a bit more serious, and the question is pretty much answered.
