As I often do reading your words, I feel both hollow and full – in the best possible way. Thank you, Lindsey.

“The contradiction between time’s relentless linearity and the irregular, swooping arcs of my heart and mind is a theme of my life.” A theme of your existence. And maybe all of ours? You capture compellingly the contrast of the linear and the less so, the juxtaposition of rigidity and fluidity that mark our days, of darkness and light.

I get this. The “repetitive circling of my own mood” and so much more, it boggles my mind.

Would you ever consider being interviewed for my blog? Meaning, I would ask you questions and I’d post your answers as a post on my blog?

Your posts give so much. I’m often at a loss of words how to even comment. I feel the same right now after reading this. Ahhh.
