Gorgeous and insightful, my friend. Among other things, I think you just solved writer’s block.

One of the best I've read from you - and they are all excellent - the choice of vocabulary in this one is so spot on or 'appropriate', if I'm to be more formal. I'm not into fussiness, Jonathan, nor empty praise but I have to say - your work is a continual delight and lifts me, so often, from the gloom that constantly afflicts me.

Apologies if this is too 'gushing' or something. I guess, in short, your work is a real pleasure.

relax,

resist the urge to speak

when you have nothing to say

Was just journalling on silence this morning...

Silence is not a void, is it? It is a place--a room with expanding walls. An ocean.

The healing resolution of the last paragraph offers a lovely relief. This one gets better with each reading.

"But relax,

I always have trouble with that part.

Fabulous poem Mr. Potter. How did you capture the textures of the surface of the moon in that photo?

Thank you Mr. Moffitt. Just an ordinary point-and-shoot iPhone foto. Got lucky with the early morning light.
