Congratulations on a year of lovely prose, thoughtful musings and brain-tickling experiments with structure. I admire the way you prioritize and nurture your creative life.

“Instead of “what if,” I’m asking myself what is.” Spoken as a true determinist, “...focused on particular events rather than the future as a concept.” Your views seem to reflect your connection with Gaia - our ancestral mother of all life - where every organism and inanimate object on our planet share a common cosmos. Enjoyed your list. Thanks for sharing. Proud to be a vesseler.

Quite belatedly, I want to thank you for this comment. It was, and still is, beautiful food for thought. Determinism! Gaia! Yes and yes
