Really beautiful Susie. Having always been a seeker, I relate. Well said!

Hi, Marti! I imagine part of me will always be a secret seeker. But I appreciate the opportunity now to be more of an observer.

You describe the shift away from lifelong seeking with such a depth of understanding about aging! Thank you, Susie, for helping me to understand my own process. These essays are pure gold—you've found your writer's path.

If ever you get back to Newburyport or thereabouts, please let me know so I can see you in person! Much love.

How wonderful to hear from you! I always thought essays were pompous....why would anyone care what I think about a subject? But it turns out that the form is the perfect container for my writing. Maybe it's related to water-color sketching?

Don, it's only recently that I decided to call myself an essayist. Montaigne must be turning in his grave.
