Wow. This piece left a mark on my mind and I feel honored to step inside your musings. I always feel a deep chill when someone is able to capture in words a feeling or idea that resonates so specifically like this.

I loved it. I would prefer to take a browse through your thoughts on a solitary morning than read yet another professional (from Yale bull session educations) preach orthodoxy in the New York Times or wherever. How boring they can be! All praise on you and the amateur spirit -- https://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/amateur/amateur.html
