Probably all of us had strange parents & a few had strange siblings. The nice thing about growing old (excusing your brain rework) is that we can change the parent/child dialogue. I’m much more forgiving now that I realize it’s an unchartered journey, but you know a lot about that…
This is one of your better posts, all of which I enjoy in varying degrees. As an only child like you, I also grew up with strangers. But I disagree with you about billionaires: Elon does not make me feel poorer.
You made me laugh and then you made me think. "Hello I am a robot"? I've never gotten an email like that, although of course many emails I receive probably are from robots. But it made me laugh. And I really like your prescription. I've adopted it for myself. Now to just figure out which time of day works best as a regular writing time. Thank you for sharing.
I was the strange sibling between two sisters. I was a stranger (somewhat) to my parents because they didn’t tell stories and I didn’t ask the right questions. I wish we had done better by each other.
You are not/were not strange. Alluringly wondrous, however. Botanically, and underneath it all, flowers are just weeds with a very large advertising budget.
This post reads "as bird sings". Just lovely.
I am deeply grateful to you. Thank you.
Thank you for your readership, and your words.

Deeply grateful for your words. Thank you.
This is so good it takes my breath away.
Oh, my! I am deeply grateful for your words. But please keep breathing.

I love the Monet quotes. I love all of this as usual.

I would like to write as birds sing.
Thank you.
That’s what he did. Keep writing the way a bird sings.

I believe I understand.
