Your excellent essay got me to thinking. Do any of us have any idea how fortunate we are even to exist? Out of the billions of planets and billions of genes to inherit, somehow we were chosen to be here at this time and in this place. What an incredible gift. Hopefully we don't squander the opportunity. Don
I think it was Gutierrez who argued that smoking a cigar (could have been a pipe) could be a sacrament.
Both work for me.
Right, time to get out some tobacco been too long. Cheers Brian.
PS—I just ordered Patrick Laurie’s Native.
He is such a good writer. Enjoy your smoke.
This is downright lovely writing, Brian.
Thanks, Glynn, I appreciate your support over the years.

It is an incredible gift, Don. As to the hopeful bit, I have to work hard and squint just right to think we might have a chance. Cheers, Brian.
