Another good thing about retirement is that one does get to linger over others' words and appreciate the labor that must've gone into their crafting. Thanks, Rob.
I love your writing - no matter what you are writing about. When I can sense the writer in the words, and feel I am invited to be there too, it is always good stuff. I have carried secret guilt about skipping over the rich, descriptive text to stay in the plot - and feeling a bit of a charlatan about that. This piece invites me to spend a bit more time sniffing around and listening to the environment where the plot takes place. (Being retired helps)
Even in retirement, I sometimes struggle to take the time to find the time! There is much to be gained by following your wisdom - thank you for the kind reminder!
