So good.

Not trying to use "good" ironically here. Although that would have been clever. Darn it.

Makes me think about the stuff I've written about what it means to be a "keeper of the garden." I didn't address, or even think about, what it means to "subdue" in this context. I'll be thinking about it.

I do find the Hemingway or Whomever quote about the first draft to be comforting. Perhaps its the loneliness of writing that makes even strands of understanding from deceased people (whom I don't have to even particularly respect that much) most welcome.

Doug.
