Thank you. I appreciate your writing style and enjoyed reading your thoughts. It took decades to express what I've felt since I was three years old, and I did it in an unexpected way in the form of a quasi-poem. I find that your writings remind me of it in this moment, so I will share it here in exchange. Thank you, again. I will re-read your words and consider them in the quiet of the night. My best to all.

Because humans are like butterflies and snowflakes like moons.

Because the cries of children and oxen and oceans pierce.

Because only love as big as all existence can free the truth of me.

Love owns me.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your poem. It means a lot to know that my writing reminded you of something you’ve felt since childhood. Your words are honest and beautiful. I’m really glad you’re here and took the time to connect. Wishing you calm and peace tonight as you reflect.
