You have made these words on the page sing! Poetry shares much with music, and your poetry is ringing loud! I wish I could float like a cloud through all these “ugly” memories and reach for your hand. George Harrison has a special place in my heart, as you know, and I’m so deeply touched by the connect to him that you describe. You are resilient and strong. To witness you coming back into yourself and your passions has been an honor. A beautiful essay, thank you.

Thank you...you are a great writer...i could relate in many ways. i haven't read much of anything for a long time, but with the way you wrote this particular essay, i couldn't stop. i found this because i searched for "Portland Maine" in here. i joined Substack a few weeks ago...i'm not very good technology wise. Anyway, thanks again!

Thank you (and George) for sharing so much of your life with us. It all helps me feel less alone with my own attachments to lost things that I wanted to be the "earth beneath my feet".
