I echo BA's "Wow.' as that was the first word that popped to mind on reading this edition. So much here. Your intellect is robust, your inward gaze is steady and discerning and your ability to express and communicate all the complex shit you're navigating and weighing is quite remarkable. My dreamlife sucks. I barely remember them and when they do stick to my memory like a slimy film, they're strangely disturbing or filled with stressful surreal work related themes. Keep on keepin' on.

Wow. This was some meaty business. I really liked it. Yes, write whatever the hell you want, and make whatever the hell you want! WHO'S THE BOSS AROUND HERE ANYWAY? Haha

I think I’ve told you this before - but I often hear you saying “Who’s the boss around here anyway” in my head and I appreciate your wise words very much!

Oh yes, you probably did tell me that... I probably unconsciously wrote that for that very reason 😅. Now if I could take my own advice...

I appreciate that you just DO express yourself in all the many ways you do. That you so openly share your life journey certainly makes a difference to me, and I'm guessing others too. Your willingness to just go for it, and be real and seen is inspiring. Love the dream explorations! ( sorry you got covid again. I didn't catch it when I hugged you at the ferry. )

The trip was awesome - so much food and art and walking! Totally worth getting covid (?) I feel like you and I have a creative collab somewhere in our future - think about how weaving could fit with your leatherwork :)

I have not thought anything yet - but I will let you know when I do. And yes! Please come back! Other than music camp in mid-July I’ll be here all summer.

My dear Megan -- You ARE, I suspect, a "difficult person", and that is what many of us appreciate about you!! Your lack of complacency, your willingness to identify and question bullshit, and your relentless community orientation, and pursuit of new ways to express yourself are qualities to prize.

In case you need it, consider this official permission to just "be". You don't have to "achieve" anything. Being yourself IS the achievement.

With love,

Deanne
