I enjoyed reading how your journey has evolved over time and love that you’re exploring poetry! 🤩 It gives me some courage to experiment with what I create on and offline. Thank you for sharing. (Those quotes are golden, btw.)

I love the poem. Especially as a dad of a young daughter who has rejected the legitimacy of bourgeois bedtime concepts. I think the Internet may actually be returning to poetry. Sometimes I get exhausted with trying to sort out facts and I realize I would rather just get a dose of someone's actual truth.

And, of course, a poem in/with/from a drawing is a million times better.

Love the way this poem came to you! You are totally a poet. BTW, I have always enjoyed your contemplative essays.

Superb. Happy sigh. Oh Christine. With Substack, I put my money where my heart is. And you have no trouble at all keeping my heart in your gentle paws. Such a joy watching your restless energy explore this world and seeing and reading the results. You’re an extraordinary woman and one day little Butterbean will properly appreciate that. Take care beautiful soul. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes. 🤗🤗😘
