Thank you, Patris. You were definitely one of the first encouraging supporters I encountered here. And you’ve been the among the most steadfast good spirits here. And I know you’ve been that for many others, too. And you are responsible for suggesting the title of my book that’ll be coming out soon: The Sweet Spot in the Chaos. Which I’m very excited about! I can’t thank you enough.

“We just come from such different circumstance”

Thank you for this magical poem, Jonathan. Finding your posts on SubStack is such a bright part of my day.

“You’ll be brushing out a brood mare’s tail, while the sun is ascending”

Brushing out the mare’s tail reminded me of you editing your work. Ranch optional.

I am rather late for your early morning, but I guess plenty more like this are already on their way!
