love your new boots pic

I could see this as a song Karren. There are moments of vulnerability/self doubt Karren, that I think we all have but may not be comfortable exposing. Aside from structure and metre and all that jazz that you do well, I think that one of the things that you often bring forth with your pieces is that vulnerability.
I feel like I know how your N. feels, not in that specific way, but that questioning – of ‘what am I doing? and why am I still doing this?’. I wish I had advice for you but I don’t. I'm happy that everything seems right again and that your Valentine did arrive.

ohh the math … the advice wasn’t to ‘do the math’, it was to, ‘do math’ (actual math) and was advice given to me by Greg who I believe had a math agenda.
