public/private

Never sure that anyone's at the receiving end of my missives, nonetheless I am compelled to think out loud from time to time and always hope for responses. Instead of online comments here, however, what has emerged are emails from people wanting to share some connection they've felt to what they've read. These replies mean so much and I wish that they were available for all to see, but I also respect that they are personal in nature and private by design.

Thank you to everyone who has written, reaching across the miles and years and beyond the illusions that separate us. My wish is that we all have someone who will truly listen...
