Hi Robert, I apologize that you've been having trouble getting removed. This is the first time I've seen a request from you. I have removed you from the mailing list now.
Dear Dylan,
I am sure when Robert Manchester mentioned this elsewhere, that I guided him to top left to subscriptions where any of us can quietly unsubscribe.
A shame, as this is a lovely and quietly inspiring website, deep bow to your good self and your editors.
warm regards,
Alan
Lovely and heartbreaking at the same time … beautiful.

about this stone

An acquaintance wrote a book of poems about the passing of her mother-in-law entitled "Elder Moon." Your lovely haiku echoes this waning. Very beautiful.
I lived inside this image; wonderful.
