To hear again from you is always a joy and today a particular solace. Your tome on reading a poem, reading those gifts, and then rereading YOUR words returned me to that peace that comes from wondrous thought and emotion created by that phenomenal gift of evolution, the written script.

Oh, I read a lot. But a thriller novel ending with a “moral and justified execution” brings satisfaction but not peace. I won’t give up the time in that strange universe but I will bring life affirmations with counterbalances.

Thanks for sharing your journey. The recipe evoked the memories of my Grandmother’s cherry pie, and Sammy’s Grandmother’s gooseberry pie.

Thank you, Ron. It is a mystery to me that we can walk through this world and not be slain by everything. And yet, it is also a mystery that there are things that catch us, captivate our vision and enchant our hearts. Thank you for letting me know that it evoked a response. And yes, a good crime novel is welcome any time, and long series with a single protagonist allow me the comfort of a known landscape in which I can get wriggle into the chair and become comfortable, merge with the cares of another place, and let my heart find rest in this world at the expense of those in an imaginary one.

Delighted that the recipe evoked a memory. Gooseberry. You were a lucky child.
