New visitor—this was such a beautiful read. Imagine my delight when I read my mentor’s words I’ve savored so many times about a “plum.” Anyway, even if that wasn’t there—you have a new fan in me. 💛

This is beautiful. Thank you for writing this, Brendon. The inclusion of portions of the poem piqued my curiosity to seek out the rest. Your post may have just inspired me to continue writing.

This was absolutely brilliant from top ti bottom. The bird, the plum, the koi fish, the prayer. I hope I never forget it.
