I woke up between two crowns of trees and watched you. I do always wait for your very touching .. thank you.. there is none of it too much for me. So the green came into me, from all sites filled with your voice between the leaves moved from this smooth morning wind, thank you so much.

Hello Patti, What is the difference between a Subscriber and a Founding Member?

If I become a founding member, will I have more influence for you to spend this summer in France (since you will be in Europe)? 😉

I'm kidding of course 😀

Thank you, Patti, for this post which I listen to with delay because I had very little free time lately.

Love you Patti 💙☕️❤️

hard to come across feelingwise. they all seem to swim in the maelstrom of current events....buffalo, just today read all dems including All Progressives backed the $40-billion-aid-to-ukraine bill. Mainstream media, continual drums of war, why just this war cover, why not all the other? regime change in russia, really? regime change?!! ....for what? weapon makers' profiteering, nra proliferation, social media binarism, social factionalism? right-hand/left-hand disconnect? mysogony, femicide, and so on the outside/so on the inside. Yes, thank you Patti, a more worthy cloak to put on, of leaves, of beckoning hands that lead leave whiperings, where to?....Outposts of loneliness, when 'I' was looking for Portals to freedom?? Here again. Loneliness. always here again. stay here, don't go, anywhere else, not timbukto, not chelsea beach sunscreen crime novel, not jet speed/high speed freeway, not Prenzlauerberg cafe...just here, lonely, yes, filled with it, till saturated she flips...Thank You....and The Onlyness is all we know....BTW M Train is also my favorite

I felt like I was watching you in the real time! I guess our feelings are mutual 😁

After a busy couple of days l finally got to watch this. What joy you bring Patti and how gorgeous is Cairo. It’s morning in London, it’s warm the trees are green and the flowers are blooming. There is a beautiful scent from my neighbours pink jasmine and I’m listening to you. Bliss 🙏

I loved The Killing! And you did a wonderful job in your role. You mentioned how you sent fan mail to the producer, and I was wondering if you have a way to receive fan mail and how we (your fans) can write to you.

I keep missing these the night of--- I'm generally up watching crime shows, something we both like--- but it's still in Real Time. IDK how that is but it's always like you just did it.

I have saved this like a present to unwrap, and now, finally have.

What a beautiful reading, this, and a surprise, as I have several copies of “M Train,” which I love, but they are all hard copies, none paperback. Now I will get the paperback because I did not know there were new things in it and I’m looking forward to reading them, especially this postscript which I can absolutely see, and agree, anticipates The Melting.

How beautiful the spectrum of greens, drained of their greenness, the coat of woven leaves, how promising the leaving behind of the measuring stick, ending the watch, the going to where there is no time. All is melting, into The Melting.

Thank you, Patti, and how happy I am to hear that you are (or were and I hope still are) feeling good.

With warmth to you, and to all Melting friends.

As ever,

Robin

Is there any way we can get a copy of the piece you read today? I don’t have that edition and would love to add it to the back of my copy. Write on!!

It’s always a joy to see and hear you, your words, your sweet thanks to us. I watch these first thing in the morning and find them to be the perfect way to begin my day…with gratitude, a warm heart, and a smile upon my face. Many thanks, dear Patti.

Nothing more Soothing having Cairo Kitty & her Human Mamacita read “bedtime stories” moments before this sleepy person calls “lights out”….

Patti - Cairo is becoming quite a film star. I'm reminded of the World's Greatest Cat Detective and his loyal assistant Nelson in the book by NZ children's entertainer extraordinaire Chris Lam Sam. FYI the book is "Inspector Brunswick: the case of the missing eyebrow". Chris is a real gem...the original genie out of the bottle. I can see Cairo getting a part in an Inspector Brunswick book.
