I don't know much about the latest poetic theory, but I think "Seasons of Hell" is like a constellation of words scattered in fascinating, fragmented, shimmering language.

I am glad that you feel optimistic and happy to be alive. For me, your optimism is a source of strength, always, but especially now at a time when I need all the strength and optimism I can get. No matter what happens, you consistently say yes to life, every aspect of it. To my core, I understand that, and try to do the same.

I am looking forward to Rimbaud month. I am now on two medicines of last resort against two separate infections I have been fighting for 6 months. It is a strange thing to be on this precipice. Scary, yes, but at least I know that nothing I ever said I felt or believed and nothing I was doing before was false or forced because I am up against the wall now, and there’s nothing I want to do other than what I’m doing: to be useful in my work, to love others and the earth, and, as you powerfully model, Patti, and this community reflects -- to be optimistic, and happy to be alive.

With blessings upon the rain and gratitude for the sun,

Robin
