Beautiful and true - is that redundant?

I'm glad you've popped back in, too. Your voice was missed. Whenever I wondered about what the quiet meant, I said a prayer for you.

Bless you! I’m so grateful for the undeserved support. Scans and bloodwork look clean. May it continue to be so.

What a lovely, graceful, humble prayer. So nice to see you back here, my friend.

You’re a top dude Peter. Someday we’re getting that drink in PA.

I’ve long awaited your return to Substack ever since friends sent me one of your poems some months ago! I’m glad to see that you’re still there.

This is a really solid piece Tullius.

where have you been all my life.

Totally loved it.

I like to connect with poets here and As a poetry lover, I just subbed and glad I found you.

I'd like if you could check out my piece and kindly connect (Sub) back if it sticks. I promise you'd love it.
