Landed like snowflakes, a sweet Sunday song. Thanks for it.

(Especially after the maiden podcast: hearing your voice and Lincoln’s Bible at once and it’s like I ate a pound of sugar.).

Lovely poem and recollection of your beloved teacher. I enjoyed the podcast (LB has helped me truly grasp a troubling phase that one of my gamer grandsons went through) and while I never could figure out how to subscribe I "followed" the podcast on Spotify.

I think that's the same as subscribing. It's all new to me. Thank you!

There's nothing in the world like a really good teacher.

Just .. nothing.

Someone on Reddit suggested that I reach out to my favorite high school teacher's family (he had already passed) to express my appreciation. I did, and they appreciated it.

That was a journey thru time together, mother and child. Chills.

Wow, that hit hard & I find myself wiping away tears. So tenderly, matter-of-factly beautiful. Thank you for that.

I need to catch up with all your various medias - I'm missing out!

I tear up every time I read it.

I like thinking about them being together again, out of these atrophying vessels we call bodies. (Which reminds me to order Ronlyn Domingue's book "The Mercy of Thin Air.")
