Thanks for listening, Erik. I'm never sure how many people open these emails or just delete them. I mean I know I could look at the stats but I can't bring myself to do that sort of thing. I'd rather try my damndest and hope for the best.

I never look at my stats either, also can't stomach it. And besides, the stats can tell you that only one person viewed your work, but they can't tell you if you just gave that one person a reason to think things might be worthwhile for another day. I mean you wrote it yourself about good actions rippling. We toss stones into the void and hope we hit some water.

Adam, thanks for being a little light.

Holding, on.

Holding, out.

Holding, my breath.

Holding, others.

Holding, myself.

Holding, up.

I love the beginnings of these. And that feeling you’re talking about I’ve been trying to explain to myself for a year.

I'm still trying to articulate it and I don't know if I'll never be successful. I've felt it so deeply and for so long it's like trying to draw your own face from memory or attempting to explain a color without using the names of other colors.
