means so much to read and understand that other people get the ways in which being a fool is a blessing!

Ridiculous since 1960 here in a hidden woods in LA—you can keep your carrera marble kitchen—I’ll scare the bear, jiggle the charm handle & keep the quirky works!

Awesomeness HH—bold and smart! You lifted my spirits this morning. Power on—

BTW—Catherine called. Picked some apples—wants to catch up!

I realized at the end that I’d stopped breathing at some point. This is stunning and beautiful, thank you.

"...the fear that you’ll forget that sound, lose that feeling, miss that moment, the invisible knife of it, the deep cut through cold air, a fool on the ground, wanting more and more under this wide ocean of sky, above this dark sea of soil..." thank you for this

Thank you. I needed this in this moment so much and want to tattoo these words to the inside of my eyelids. I've been a fool my whole life. I'm seeking the strength you stay a fool for the rest.

this is beautiful, I’d never look at foolishness the same way, more on towards people who accept they are foolish in some ways as I am.
