Gari, this is one for the ages. Brava. Great work.

In “The Witcher”, the mage, Yennefer of Vengerberg learns to control her “chaos”. I’m totally feeling that. Waking up with a tinge of despair serves no purpose, so I transmute it into art. Or walk in the vineyard. Or write until I can laugh again. Thank you for this essay.

Thank you. Your comments and others is a sea that floats my writing boat. I hope only to return the favor.

What a time.

You're more often offering "adorables" and the difficult ones too, from the heart with visual poems and PETS! also inspire and keep me smiling. Its a journey. Your honesty in what you do is so compelling - is the only word I can think of right now.

I'm finally getting done with the uncertainty of all the trump years. All the covid and uncertainty that brought too. It's all been a firewalk I guess. I mean the feeling of uncertainty. Done. I'm certain again. phew.
