Thank you, @litguru!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, @joanstewart. What a shock. And how awful for his young family. You are right. A brisk walk and a talk with the birds is a beautiful and healing thing. Thank you for your

I love that comment SO much. Thank you, @yaziris. We really are part of a great continuation of elements, shapes, forms, and moments. We can try to hang on to them, but they are all fleeting. What is left

Beautiful pics from your walk, @elizabethbit! I am not sure I've ever heard of fireweed. The seeds are sure cute. I'll bet it looks like snow when they are all falling.

Oh my! I read through this once, wondering "who is he actually talking to?" And then once I figured it out I read through again and every line suddenly made sense. It's like suddenly understanding

These photos are spectacular, @mestanophoto. I am so glad she was able to do her acrobatics safely without worrying about cut glass. Wow, she is talented! The old trainyard is amazing. That last picture

Thank you so much, @itsostylish. Yes, you know all too well what I'm experiencing right now. Our hearts can shatter into a million pieces and yet we carry on, don't we? Some days, some moments, are much

So good to see you in The Ink Well again, @samsmith1971. We've missed you! I love how this story plays out. The relationships that are strained by the narrator's illness seem spot on. We'd like to think
