I first discovered you when you submitted the last photo above with some others for our texture challenge on Snapshots. That photo and the bridge are magnificent. I’m glad you are here — on Medium and on earth — and glad you escaped the depression demon. Twice he’s held me closely in his claws.

I need to catch up on your writing. I have so many pieces bookmarked! Recently, I succombed to shingles, a most baffling, uncomfortable, and unpredictable condition. My 50+hour work weeks have shortened to 32 as I battle thus virus. I thought the time off work would allow me to catch up on my reading but I typically feel so badly, all I do is sleep!
