Yes, I have taken comfort from reading this. Thank you. I immensely enjoyed this one not just for its message, but for the way you’ve written it: beautiful metaphors, turns of phrase, the “literary” that makes us slow down rather than just skim and move on to the next read (there are writers here who unabashedly proclaim themselves as skimmers who who will not read beyond an interesting headline or lead — I mean, they’re really not embarrassed by admitting they DON’T read?). Writers like you are hard-to-find gems here on Medium. Keep on writing. I’m a happy new follower.
