I meant to add, Strawbridge, that the marrow of life is what I hope I am planting in my Epiphany Garden, and what you go for in your very thoughtful pieces. You get into the very marrow of our bones. You are "deep," brother, deep.

And you are doing exactly that--planting seeds. I try to search for the soulful parts of life and at least make people think more about it.

Au contraire, Strawbridge, you are doing as your fingers tap the keyboard in front of you what David Thoreau did in the woods. A great philosopher once said that the unexamined life is not worth living. Some have to do as Thoreau. Others spend hours on mountain tops or their study meditating. The location is of no importance. You are a digger. My mini-bio talks about how I want to develop an Epiphany Garden with my writing. You are Doing the same. The good news for us readers of Strawbridge us that you take us to your woods with your words. Thank you.

So glad to be back on the Substack horse.

Your epiphany garden is a great idea. The world needs it. Thank you so much Benn. I appreciate your words like always, and you are so right about the unexamined life. We are glad that you are back.
