No, he is just right. I love the stream of conscience bit, the coming back to serious thoughts, and the saying the things other choose to keep shunt about it.
Thank you! I was hoping to highlight how barbarically banal such incidents are over the span of human history, and how weird and awful it is that some citizen is being deported and I'm sitting here folding laundry or whatever.
No, the slates won't ever truly be clean, not really. Everything that has ever happened will always have happened. But we can wipe that slate off until only little smudges are left - only enough to remind us of what used to be there, as it gets harder and harder to believe every day, because it seems so antiquated and primitive.
OMG how beautifully you write, Sally.
You are ebulliently generous, Peter! Thank you!

I got it, yes.
PS: I meant to write others not other. I hate tyoing on my phone
beautifully put.
Thank you!
The way you write!! Each word carefully woven, slipping and curling like silk. It feels so delicate, so alive, it almost breathes.
However, I do wonder. Will the slates ever be clean? 🤔
Oh, what a very kind thing to say! Thank you!

That's what I'd like to see.
