Moot. Your thought poured into your trade. My thought vagabond and indolently indifferent expecting "premature death" at any time. And I have to say premature death for 20 years destroyed any interest in Wordsworth whatsoever. The sentiment I found offensive! Do we all not die? I am 100 now I am ready? In that life hope view thought is turned on it itself. No, we say, we are not. This death too is premature.

Your parentage, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, love of music, philosophy and language

has generated the wonderful person you are today. We are very fond of you in New Zealand and Australia. Thanks to Richard Seager for suggesting to some of us to read you.

Somehow, you resonant or reverberate with our vibration. Why, or how, could be the mystery that only you could solve. We do like reading what you have to say, although for someone like me it can at times, be a rather complex deep dive.

Allan, always clearly understands where you are coming from. Also, I must add, there are many women who would dearly love to be married to such a devoted husband as you are.

I have wondered too though those lands have drawn me for years. Long ago on some interesting conspiracy forums some English people and a couple Dutch corresponded.

My night changed as at 11:30 pm I found I was wrong about transit. The train then permits me going home to rest. My train now is 7 minutes late. No complaints, our transit ordeal this day was only five hours hurry up and wait. Which made me ponder labor shortage of people and vehicles for medical transport. Judith rests with daughter

Myth, in the hands' of the diluted, is sentenced to the soft, ambiguous realm of fiction, if not to the corner, with a dunce-cap.

Prayers for your wife's safe recovery.

I am amazed that you have had another Substack all this time.

I shall investigate at my leisure as it may be advanced for my mundane typical thoughts.

I am one of those who kept their nose to the grindstone all these years and am just recently branching out.

Best wishes to you and Judith. Hoping that wishes help.
