Shell, Again and again you grab the pain and wrestle it til it grunts, “uncle!” My reference, to “uncle” is 1950’s code for “I give!” To me, you’re a sensitive Baroque artisan that chisels a block of fine but unshaped porcelain into a classic work that resonates to my soul. Your overcoming the past by using the chisel of writing has expiated the Screaming Mimi’s of the past. Shell, you teach through example which supports me in my journey. Bravo!

I love your negative past being buried in the mausoleum. Great pictorial metaphor.

Thank you for saying so. It sure feels like I have to physically make that happen sometimes.
