Adam, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this. I appreciate you.

Jill, I can’t thank you enough for this honor. It means more than you know. Really. Thank you thank you. Best Thursday I've had in a while.

May we all find the medicine we so desperately need right now. xo

So well deserved and described. (Jill has excellent words, too.) Someone will read this and feel less alone. As if the world isn't two dimensional, but full and sad and beautiful.

I loved every single word of this poem Kate! Just what I am thinking and feeling but lacking the beauty and grace to weave it together so perfectly. I will frame your words and hang it by my desk today as an inspiration and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in chaos. Thank you. xxx
