Gorgeous

Thank you for putting it all so beautifully

This often unattractive life.

Thank you, Sebastian! The only good thing to do with sleeplessness, or anything equally exasperating, is to make some kind of art out of it. I'm so glad the piece spoke to you.

So beautiful, Tonya! Always a pleasure to take a wander in your beautifully-expressed memories. I related closely to that orange band of light, though that is from my current digs & not my childhood home. You made me grateful to realize that lately I have been drifting off to effortless sleep right after the book I am reading starts jettisoning towards my face. Thanks, honey.

Definitely be grateful for that! I go through periods where sleep is easy, and then periods when it's harder. The challenge is always acceptance. Thanks so much, Ellen.
