This was such a good piece Nate. Sometimes I think wisdom is just acknowledging more and more that things are cyclical.

Knowing that you can never point to the circle is a whole other thing!

I really like how relentlessly you gave us examples and poems about how good relentlessly follows us. I’m gonna be rereading this!

Thank you, Mikah. I’m surprised people seemed to enjoy this one more than other things I’ve written. I guess there’s power in poetry without pretexts. People need less context to relate to something than I assumed.

Thank you, what made it stand out to you? Was it the content or the style?

Both, it was like being in a dream or a painting, I liked how all of the sudden "she" appears. Also I think my favorite sentence is "They sang so long their notes illuminate the stones."

So beautiful Nate!!
