…oh no simple sentiment - the praise for you who work so pointedly and gracefully to fortify the spirit, such that ghastly fears seem common and alleviated by seas and stars !

But… the visceral physical self ?

I used to swim in the ocean everyday in the summer - I know the cold the salt the floor the heaving surface - my buoyancy and nourishment… but never felt how the sky meets the water when swimming in darkness.

I wonder always how you feel in there -

I was just staring again at this miraculously all-encompassing psychological revelation as it somehow showed up in my manic addictive phone scrolling - the first time was when I read and reread your beautifully devotional book 🙇

Me either. But too much oxalate can cause kidney stones

Then there’s the toxicity of the oxalate - in the raw

It isn’t “stringy” if you cut it up before you cook it - like cooking cranberries - just for a short time and with not a lot of water

The outer layer becomes deliciously macerated within its juicy sauce when lightly boiled

Yes!! Oh my god my mother used to make rhubarb pie !! Amazing !!!! It’s so nice thinking of you doing that with your kids — in LATVIA!

Well no! I boil it with a little sweetener - and then I eat it like apple sauce - I can’t afford to buy the amount I like to eat - but my neighbor used to give us tons of it “back in the day” — what a luxury !!!

Oh! I had imagined the sea as constant, holding every moment

You could inform those researches ever so gracefully 🤺

It’s hard to fall entirely into despair when you live with a dog who is perpetually this happy!

A tufty black retriever mix with exceptionally white teeth and smiling brown eyes looks directly into the camera. You are probably meant to throw one of her toys about now, and again for the next fifteen minutes. Well, what are you waiting for?

draping & velvet plays of light which chamois and silk can only suggest, not touch; and into a region and scale of blues, subtle, delicious, and deft beyond what I have ever seen elsewhere approached except in rare skies, the smoky light some days are filmed with, and some of the blues of Cezanne.

The edges of the thigh pockets become stretched and lie open, fluted, like the gills of a fish. The whole shape, texture, color, finally substance, all are changed. The shape, particularly along the urgent frontage of the thighs.. Agee
