A master at insight, a prose creator as derivatives and there you have it. I suppose. Or does your work come from a hybrid of joints and places and sorts of ponderings? I wonder about what it is we can never change. Like you say, we write, and there we discover the best of what life has to offer. At least for today.

Thank you for this essay. It was timely for the likes of me. And my quest. A writer's journey. A journey I would not miss for the world. At least not for today. Nor yesterday, nor the day before that. As for tomorrow, that will reveal itself, like the use of dialogue, in due time.
