Thanks, Duane! This person still makes me want to tear him to shreds... in good and bad ways. 😅

🤣 my pleasure! I know the feeling! I think you do a superb job of conveying the push and pull of those impulses in the piece.

My other post on here "Wish You Were Here (Extended Version)" is also about the messiness of brave vulnerability. It's one of my favorite pieces, and I included a video recorded reading. Would love to know what you think. ☺️
