Dear Esther,

As I was reading yet another installation of your pearls of wisdom series, All Your Life Has Prepared You For This Next Phase, it reminded me of this piece of mine, that I call a poem though some call it prose, perhaps its prosetry, that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle:

The above tanka was directly inspired by your story, and I am choosing your inspiration to be the first piece I publish in my child, which is not remotely ready for primetime, but I do not care that I lack an avatar and a banner and all that jazz that I am not well-suited to create. I hope that a few of my friends here in the MediumVerse will volunteer to join me in polishing this stone. I have a few in mind, yourself included if you are so inclined, and rather than tagging, which while might be an honor could also intrude and make one feel obliged, I think I’ll sit back and see whom the current grabs.
