Always, and in all ways, do I finish reading an edition of yours both genuinely inspired and better educated, having been exposed to yet another page from the increasingly rare and precious archive of Woodruffian literary and meta-philosophical wisdom. THAT QUOTE AND THAT GENIUS Henri Frederic Amiel!!! Omg. Nothing could be more of a bulls-eye prescription for now (and at all times, surely). Note To Self.
“Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the plowshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring, and reserve a nook of shadow for the passing bird; keep a place in your heart for the unexpected guests, an altar for the unknown God.”
Your words on Mercury Rx are so sensible and good to read on a haywire day. I suppose there will soon be FDA approval of a Vaccine for it 3 times a year. Damn.
The final enshitification of the internet -- and all of the bullshit hype that precipitated it (just like bitcoin, the metaverse, cyber trucks, oculus head gear, NMTs or whatever those jpegs that cost 50,000 dollars were called. Tech bros are gonna bro.)

Be Strong, Be Well, dear brother.
Thank you, Victoria.
I revisit the Amiel quote whenever I'm befuddled by the idea that I need to translate any insight that arrives into some *thing*.

Wow! Beautiful
Hi Stephen
Thank you! I'm happy to know it provided some inspiration.
Oh great, Frederick, now I have to go on TikTok. Besides following you I have to check out those filters!
Congrats on almost having your Dahmer book published. I design books for a tech company and could never afford the fonts I get to use.
Hi Monica
The filters are fawking insane. There really is just 'one' key one. Fun to play with.
Thanks for the TikTok report! I've never visited that site, but it sounds like I had assumed it to be.
It's nutz. For sure.

I don't TickTok but you look, actually filtered.
LOL! That is so close to the truth it's SCARING ME!
Never in a million years did I expect to see you on TikTok. This truly is a Mars/Jupiter/Gemini day!
I know, Marie, cray cray. But Uranus is on my asc so I like checking everything out.
Love the antidote! Thank you!
I know I am a nudge about stuff like this but you didn't mean 'son' did you? Sun? Yes?
Lol…that’s TikTok’s crazy auto AI captioning. (No problem nudging).
AI is gonna sink us and shrink our brains!!
