Hi Ramya, thanks for this newsletter. It's a great blend of reflections and recommendations. I absolutely love picture books, so I will definitely check out Ablaze. It's also heartening to know that she created it at 70. I'm 54 and have been writing my whole life, but I have only claimed the role of writer and began sharing my work in the last few years. I also adore Trevor Noah. His memoir Born a Crime is one of my favorites of all time, so I will check out his podcast. Have a great day!
Thanks very much for stopping by, Michelle! I'm so glad you enjoyed the newsletter. Born a Crime is one of my favorite books of all time too. Definitely check out Trevor's podcast - it's truly a gem!
Loved this post, and thank you for making me discover a new Substack - I’m very intrigued by tarot lately, but don’t know the first thing about it. And here is my word for your haiku project: shadow.
Reconnection
Filaments of time,
We can always go back home,
Sweet reconnection.

And what, after all,
is a shadow but the dance
between dark and light?
Thanks, Mailys! The haiku is above/below. Please do check out Caroline's Substack - her writing is luminous, and her readings always hit just right!
Lol,
Epiphany Center for the Arts...
...the couple that owns it used to be very close friends of mine....
...until I divorced my first wife...
...she is still close friends with them and actually bartends there ...
...you probably met her, Mwelwa knows her as well...
...he is a "shared" friend between Terry and I.
It's cool, but still worth a chuckle none the less...
Wow! "Small world" seems like an understatement.

Will you remember
tonight’s velvet reverie,
fodder for wild hearts?
