Love the Bill Gates quote. Have heard this concept from others. Another spin on it is seeing the wake behind your boat... You can't see it until you've been through it and lived it. Then you can look back. I write a lot on my own that I don't publish here on Substack. You're inspiring me to do a bit more. 1000 words of summer is upon us with Craft Talk's Substack and I have a plan to give it another shot. Writing 1k words every day about something...

It's like we need to hear these words everyday, and that's fine too. That's what makes us human I guess.

"Seeing the wake behind your boat...", I love this perspective.

This one echoed! Somewhere in there are words minted not by your brain, but by your soul in a universal language that resonated with mine. Keep on writing and thanks always, for your support!

Happy to find resonance with you brother. I find a lot of comfort from your writings as well, being far from home and where you once resided. We keep on.
