Jack, what I want to say is "I'm so proud of you!!" even though that phrase seems far too maternal for our friendship... :-) Yet I AM proud that you broke through your longstanding aversion to sharing your poetry with the world. That's HUGE. I can't clap hard enough over here...

What you've written is beautiful, earnest, and true. This line I especially love: "beyond the shroud of daily strife." Keep sharing all the creative offerings that come through you, edible or not. They are all nourishing for us... and for you. xox

Thank you for sharing your poem Jack - I found strength, comfort and inspiration in your words - despite the political madness which surrounds us.
