Fascinating stuff, Stephanie. Also, heard your excellent FOOC piece when it went out on 24th May because I always listen to FOOC anyway. A pleasant surprise to hear your name in the intro, so I listened with extra attention! Paul Blez

Oooh, you are so beautifully gifted and I'll have to say it is awful of me to be so jealous of your journeys that have brought such enlightenment and experience to those others of us that can appreciate the value therein. Kudos, ONCE AGAIN, my friend, in bringing so much in the way of reflection and love to all you share! ( P.S.- Was the site of the Sipapu(sp?) shared, or, since I'm revealing my jealous streak, was there a Potlatch on any of your wanderings? Oh, now, I am so being smarmy, for which I WILL apologize! Truly, though, Stephanie, this is a beautiful piece and I am very much looking forward to seeing you again!🫶🏼

Thanks Jack, that’s like the Borges thing- I’d rather have 18 readers than 18 million because at least I can imagine each of the 18! Sending a whole lot of loving from the desert 🌵🐇❤️

I read it all and have the hat you gave me on my wall, I think of you and our other friend’s at Garth’s quite often. Sending positive vibes and loving your work until we meet again

That’s funny. I bought a cowboy hat when I happened to be in Texas the day of the Twin Tower explosions. I went back to London and hung it on my wall for 18 years until I got to live in the California Mojave desert and decided I might as well wear it for real!
