“I felt the stone of myself move aside.” That’s a great sentence, Jeff. Wishing you a belated happy 40th. It seems apropos that it rained. For rain reflects renewal, and I sense that in you and your work. You may have receded from the algorithms and posting treadmills, but I believe great things lie ahead with your work. Here’s to the next decade of creative expression.

Reminds me of the opening to Sgt Peppers. “It was 40 years ago today...”

Happy belated, Jeff. One of my favorite lines is, “Smelling the musty scent of future things already passed;” Wow. It makes you stop and reread, think on it, read it again, and wonder.
