Lovely piece, you managed to compress so much in not so many words

I am someone who has a very active mind and enjoys sitting with ideas, and your description of sorting out liminal monsters is one of the most relatable things I have read.

Thank you. I appreciate the line about living in and in compression. Hmmmmmm. Now there is a great writers prompt

In my younger self, any space could be liminal after smoking some Mexican dirt weed, but those days died 45 years ago. I was just ruminating on how to teach struggling writers what a summary is, and came up with an anchor chart idea. A summary is a compression task, keep the meaning, lose the extra. Lately, driving through the desert is the closest I get to flying but I understand your sentiments.

Saturday mornings are better because of your essays.
