Revisiting this, I feel: Revisiting this, I feel exactly the same as my comment in 2003.  In my old age, I am haunted by Pompeii, although I take comfort from the presence of the Rosary Cathedral in the city's vicinity.

I understand your style is: I understand your style is very self aware and committed to the poetic mastery of deliberate meaningless redundancy, but, in my opinion, if you choose to continue to drop these Names, I think you should begin considering to add a sort of string-cheese personality to merit their storied criminal development inheriting Jesus persona or aroma on these pages in order to create more depth, I guess, etc... Nevertheless, I do enjoy your work very much and truly do believe you to be quite brilliant, indeed... Cheers!!

I have been privileged to: I have been privileged to become more dependent on my Faith, first of all; then those two comments you posted some days ago keep my screen name at StarSpared.  And, in my old age, I have become more appreciative and cognizant of moments of importance from my adolescent past.  Should the Lord choose to keep me alive long enough, the days and dates of 2027 will align, after February 28th, exactly as they were in 1976 which, from Holy Week through New Years' Eve was the most intensely transformative year of my life.  Every few days, there will be a reconnection to experience.

  Thank you for sharing this,:   Thank you for sharing this, StarSpared. It really resonates that in chasing endless online connections we can lose touch with the rituals and stories that ground us and it’s encouraging to hear of your having reclaimed yours now. While we can’t get back those “disconnections,” every small step we take to revive that heritage is a meaningful act of restoration. I’d love to hear more about what traditions you’re rediscovering and how they’re reshaping your daily rhythm.

    Reading this like being:     Reading this like being caught in a thunderstorm of raw, electric imagery: blood-soaked sheets, circus lions floundering in shark-infested waters, mustard-colored clouds; yet beneath that fierce chaos there’s a pulse of humanity craving escape and understanding. It shocks and mesmerizes, daring us to stare down our own fears at the break of day. Which image hit me hardest, and would I think this jolting; shall this unfiltered style bring us closer to its truth or push us away? Perhaps a poem or two may be afoot!

You describe the way we live: You describe the way we live very well.  For all of our online connections. we severely lack the connections with our family traditions and historic heritages.  I have been blessed to begin recovering the most important one of mine, but I can never recover the time I robbed from it to waste on lesser and smaller "disconnections."
