Great words that landed at the right time for this amateur writer. I need to pick up the pen because I love to pick up the pen and make stories happen. If they’re good, if friends and family like them, that’s all gravy. The main thing is the love of writing. Thanks, Grant!

The first event was such a blessing, the guests were warm and attentive, and the evening flowed forward without undue fret. Your post today inspires me and caused me to reflect on winning and losing, purpose and intuition, making and letting go. Thank you!

Amen brother! Faves: We write to narrow the chasm. We write to penetrate the unseen world around us. We've witnessed. There is poetry in this madness. To hear ourselves. Yes, yes, yes. Great words.

Wow! Your essays, diverse as they are, always seem to have an existential thread running through them that feeds my soul.

‘Because it can be good to be uncomfortable…’ is it when we are growing the most? Possibly! All good pieces to ponder here. Thank you, Grant; for all you write and inspire.

I think the ways we allow (and don't allow) discomfort into our lives is very interesting. Thanks for reading (comfortably or uncomfortably)!
