Oh my. Awful early in the morning for so many glimpses of my life but I’m thankful you wrote them.

What a beautiful essay, Robert. It’s truly a work of art—moving, relevant, and deeply felt. Thank you for so generously sharing it with us, your grateful readers. And friends.

While this is fiction, it does contain a few glimpses of my own lived experiences. What I took away from writing it is how doing nothing is a choice, and that inaction comes with just as many consequences as action.

Thanks, Sharon. I'm gald that you enjoyed it,

I wrote it as I returned home from Australia yesterday (28 hours of door-to-door travel). Instead of writing about actions having consequences, I thought about how inactions can have just as much impact, and how doing nothing really is a choice.
