I have returned to this essay many times since the first time you posted it, and it propels and informs my own writing, pushing me deeper into the urgency of stories I had previously been afraid to explore. Thank you.

Since I found your Substack I’ve been going back and combing through your previous essays. This one almost broke my heart but gave me a new sense of fervent hope. A feeling similar to the way of the rose theme of this is much bigger than me, and going down and in and speaking truth is the only way. I love your writing so much. Thank you for sharing it.

Love this, had to restock with quote. It opens my ability to storytell greatly. So appreciative for your storytelling medicine and voice.
