hope you don't mind, I have saved some of your words into a document as they express very nearly what I believe
"It reminds me that... hm. I was not put here on this earth to be okay. You know? Not that I was put here to be miserable, I don't mean that. I mean I was put here to feel things to the marrow. To report on them, with a matching sense of urgency. Then to die.”
Reading this over breakfast has made my day start well, thank you
Steve, you are more than welcome to these words, and I'm so glad they resonate with you. You know, I almost didn't share them because I thought they were a touch too vulnerable? Your response makes me very glad I did. Thank *you*, one writer to another.
Oh Shivanee. I cannot believe that I saw you at ARC CoCreate yesterday while you were most likely preparing/incubating this beautiful, visceral missive. I can't really explain how or why but I feel blessed to have been in the same space with you at such a time ... Does that make sense? Probably not. But know that I feel this, as so many of us do, I'm sure. And I'm grateful.

Ruth, what a beautiful thought to express -- I'm so thankful to you for sharing it, and so glad I saw you amidst coffee, books, and poems <3
