Laura, what a delightful piece. I was happy when I saw it land in my Inbox today. Thank you for these thoughts about beautiful questions and writing into beauty too. I was just telling a friend how much I've missed your writing, and that I'd love to read more. Wishing you health and peace this weekend and into next.

I just wanted to add that I love how you ask such generative questions and ground them in the practical details of life. And that your posts seem to gravitate toward hope.

As to your question about support, I would love to read more of your work and spread the word about it, but I honestly don't know if I could financially send support every month.

Gravitate toward hope ... I think you've said more than you realize. That gives me something to to think about! Thank you.

Lovely essay (in the broader sense) from and through and back to beauty, Laura. What do I want to see here, you ask? More of your unique way of seeing, in whatever form. You've already given me a lot to ponder in creative ways. And yes, I'd support the work. :)

I haven’t been reading much of anyone lately. Nor writing. And Mary’s quote is a zinger. I always have such great plans. I don’t know if it’s a slowdown because of age or just laziness. I seem to accomplish things slower these days. Maybe that’s a good thing.

Anyway, you always inspire me and make me think. And I did not know you were doing CPE. How very cool! Also, I always love your lists. I will need to check the budget for support options.

P. S. A little secret. I bought myself a handpan...

Thanks, Snady. There's something to be said for slowness. The tortoise and the hare ...

Got this in the inbox this morning: https://inspiration360.substack.com/p/questions and the convergence made me smile.

I'm sorry about the loss of your bodies of work. Really, truly.

This place... is a good place to begin again. And I do love the pairing of "beauty" with "questions" = "beautiful questions" :)
