Michael, this is brilliant. I think this is an incredible journey you're on and hope you continue to explore and write.
I'm not sure if your focus is what it means to lose others to death, what you have to look forward to in death, or both. A worthy topic no matter the focus, one relevant to all of us!
Richard's Socrates piece was very funny. I can see why you would want to collaborate with him and why you two would have been a fun match. I don't know that you need a collaborator except for fun and companionship, as your post today is wonderful for readers like me, but also I would guess a real voyage of discovery for you.
I'm going to have to revisit Tolkien. Anone who loves trees like that is a good 'un in my book.
Thanks for reading it and commenting, El! The top link will take you to the full story of "Leaf by Niggle" but Carpenter's biography was a real page turner. Tolkien was a fascinating man.
Thank you for writing this. Richard and I had a lot of banter. I miss him.
Thanks for stopping by and reading it, Holly. :-)
Powerful piece, Mike. I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
Thanks for stopping by, Chris.
I’m reading a completely unrelated book right now, but so many of the themes are the same. Interesting, the vibes of the universe are.
What’s the book?
It’s called Home Fields. One of my former coaches wrote it. Nothing about it seems like it should be similar, but it is. I think anyway.
(It’s got a little to do with WW2, so I’m having my coach on the pod for Memorial Day to talk about it)
Cool!

I will definitely check out that biography.
