Great stuff, Ted.

I'm reminded of these poems I wrote 2 and a half years ago, https://medium.com/illumination-curated/the-illusion-of-death-84c4c250df80,

and of this White Feather piece I often cite, https://medium.com/recycled/forgotten-selves-be8baec80024, subtitled "And the dramas we act out together" If you feel like diving into an 18-minute essay I wrote in Feb 2021, you might enjoy https://medium.com/illumination-curated/life-is-school-for-the-soul-9b081dbe8453
