Thank you for sharing this lovely piece by one of my favorite authors. I discovered Teece many years ago in SCA and have since bought both his books and read everything I could get my hands on that he wrote. I don't remember this story, however. Thanks for filling a gap.

What a lovely story. How easy it is to assume that things "should be" a certain way, when in truth, things change in a nano-second and we should-oughta be thankful for the brief time they were with us. Life is such a miraculous gift - to have that little iconic raven persist for so long was indeed a miracle! I especially liked the phrase, "monstrous ingratitude."
