I know you (of you) and have once spoken to you on the phone, pre-iPhone (six Ben Franklin’s later with all the stuff and tax) and have read your book and articles, but the most joyful for me was discovering your blog. The universe always sends you what you need and for whatever reason, several clicks later, I was reading your words and seeing the winterscape of Maine. My thoughts are with you in your losses and I can feel the coolness of the snow in your heart. I will visit again to read as it has all the earmarks of a healthy addiction. You are a fine and well-spoken writer.

The original reason for writing to you has changed since a few hours of reading have passed and a long, hot, meditative bath. Permission is what I ask from you. May I use this quote from your writing in my book?

“Aging is only bad if you hang on to what must be let go.”

It is well said and should be shared. I found it to be one more gift of the day. Thank you.

Let me know,
