The painted sign at the top reads: A place to return to – a time to come home<\/em>. Next to a photograph of Welch, beside the doorway, was the following note:<\/p>\n
On 23^{rd<\/sup> May 1971, Lew Welch, walked out of the cabin of his friend Gary Snyder in the Californian hill country of Nevada County. He took with him a revolver. He walked into the forest leaving behind a farewell note and scattered poems. His body has not been found. Perhaps today he\u2019ll return to this small room and hear again the Ring of Bone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n}

A poem by Lew Welch:<\/p>\n
I saw myself<\/p>\n
a ring of bone<\/p>\n
in the clear stream<\/p>\n
of all of it<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and vowed,<\/p>\n
always to be open to it<\/p>\n
that all of it<\/p>\n
might flow through<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and then heard<\/p>\n
\u201cring of bone\u201d where<\/p>\n
ring is what a<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
bell does<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Visitors who looked into the mirror could see their own face.<\/p>\n
