It’s like thunder. Lightening. The way you tell stories is exciting.

I think we should cue song, “Knock on Wood,” but not the original one by Otis Redding, or the Tina/Ike one, but the disco one with brassy horns and vibe.

Not that your writing is disco. It’s celebratory like disco.* Yet at the same time your writing has an evergreen feeling.

How cool would it be to revisit all your work in a coffee table book?

“I’m going to have say it—if only to plant a seed,” I say.

The above has been a preceding thought each time I manage to comment on your beautiful work.

It goes to show we have a nostalgia for nostalgia and your is your matter.

(That was a riff off of Ursula K. Le Guin’s “Words Are My Matter.”)

*Oddly: Just when I think the 70s and disco is dead, it kinda comes back. I mean, what was Jesse Ware thinking? I start seeing bellbottoms and music gets that hustly beat. I thought I escaped it completely in the 90s but I’ve seen it emerge after Grunge.

Stories are the lifeblood of humanity, and you always knew and opened your heart freely, come what may. You are not only brave, but a beautiful soul full of brilliance, compassion, and love. Keep letting your light shine; we all need you now more than ever. ❤️
