This poem was weirdly fun/playful - I dig it. Hearing different voices in the poems and Psalms adds some color to familiar passages.
I do miss the notes for the renditions and poems, though I won't complain about potentially reading things sooner. I'd love to read them eventually, even if not for a while.
That is good to know, Ben. I also think that in part I have lost focus for the notes. There is SO MUCH that could be said, but how to select what should be said?
I definitely understand that - if it's the difference in having more to read vs. not having more because it's hard to put the extra material together I'll take more psalms and poems. Just want you to know that the notes are interesting and appreciated!
I feel like this poem could've me from the mouth of a Steinbeck character, or maybe even one of Marilynne Robinson's. I like "the fear is where you begin" but also "what damn good is blessing." If you want to go bold. :)

Thanks, Ben. I'm still trying to find a best-of-both-worlds format. More iterations coming...
I feel the same way Ben does about the notes and things.
Also totally hear that difficulty of deciding what to say out of all that could be said :)
also... writhe again :D
With my earlier comments on connections between poems, I love this system of hyperlinking things that overlap! Makes my job a lot easier :D
“Grief is a black cookpot” - what a line. And perhaps a title?

“The fear is where you begin.”
Yes I think that is it.
