I don't think you should ratchet down your enthusiasm for anything. This post made me feel good in about 5 different ways, and I needed that today. Thank you! I loved the poem you shared, as I've been feeling a tiny bit melancholy about the trees losing their candy this week. Now I am looking out to the willow in our front yard and I'm cheering those leaves on.
I am honored that you referred to me as “being more tethered to actual time and space than myself.” My tethering to time and space is one of my best qualities, and I thank you for recognizing it. I’m glad one of us got to enjoy the poetry workshop. 😀
Thanks for pointing out the silliness and deliciousness of the description - it makes me want to write a spoof dating profile - seeking someone tethered to time and space who isn’t allergic to mushrooms
I love my ritual of starting my week listening to you. I’m definitely feeling the weight of “the duties of the thing.” I still stand by our theory 💯 (and your overalls). Love you.
The release date is still TBD, but it is looking like late June/early July! I'm in the back-and-forth with the publisher now, so hoping to know more soon. I'll let you know when I do! :)

Love you too- so nice to have a pic to put with this story 🤗
I am kinning with you on the 3:00 a.m. Substack thing.🌱🩵🌱
It was a challenge but it is so much better now which I am grateful for- wishing you rest and peace and fortitude
💗💗💗 I love all of this. These lines from Ada Limon’s poem are some of my favorite to come back to this spring : “Patient, plodding, a green skin
growing over whatever winter did to us, a return
to the strange idea of continuous living despite
the mess of us, the hurt, the empty.
And I love your poem too—filled with good things I need to keep remembering. Thanks for another pocketful of beautiful reminders.
Aww! Thanks for reading Claire. Any news on when your book comes out?
