Thank you for this! I've been trying to figure out my passions for so long. Still don't exactly know. Books. That's about all I have sorted haha. I'm trying to let go of the idea that I need to have it all figured out. I'm trying to open my mind and be more curious. I find when I do life feels much better.

1. I can’t say how much I love this!

2. Thank you for sharing that story. One of my favorite things about life is when you have one of the those totally random moments where humans connect to together, reach past all the contrived mechanisms of society and just be human together, it’s the most damn beautiful thing in the universe!

3. You, Mr. Gregson, are making this world more beautiful than you found it! That’s the highest praise I could give anyone. Thank you!

"As athletes, they thought that writing poetry was not part of the pre-designed packages that came along with that status."

Tell me about it: it's seems astounding from the viewpoint of this century how often (or how often they did back when I was young) people would come out of the woodwork to punish me for engaging in what you could call 'the fuzzy arts'. Boys are definitely not supposed to doing that.

I also appreciate the real knack you seem to have for inspiring people to pen some verse. Hat off for you sir!
