There was magic in your first draft Haley, but you eliminated every possible distraction and made this prose poem just sing. Reading it this morning it feels metaphorical to me, a recipe for how we can rise to meet the era we find ourselves in, a reminder that the mounting hardships of our time can be weather through with the depth of our connections.
Thank you deeply Rick - for your support and for always seeing straight to the intentions of my writing so clearly so that I can distill it beyond the distractions.
I’m just throwing my hands in the air because this is so freaking beautiful. Be right back, trying to convince the city of Seattle to put this essay on a plaque.

This was beautiful Haley. And I’m sure the lull of winter something many will resonate with, including me.
Glad you published this :) simply lovely
Thank you so much, Tommy. Appreciate you so much my friend.
You've expressed seasonal depression in such an immersive yet gentle way. Wishing you loads more hot drinks to warm up your cold days.
Thank you Becky, this brought a smile to my face. I will drink one right now in your honor!
