I remember well that feeling of violation when we were robbed in Brooklyn many years ago. With time that feeling lessens, oddly kind of like grief and loss lessens over time.

Good piece Matt, keep up the good work!

Thank you! It is a gut wrenching feeling... fortunately, as I mentioned, we are well supported by family and friends like you! Love ya

💗💗💗 Your writing always blow me away. Your ability to explain complex systems in concise bits is appreciated and admired! I wish you all didn’t have to go through a robbery but am glad you are okay.

Thank you Page! I have to simplify these things to make sense of them myself. I just feel fortunate to have the time and space to distill.

Matt, Marcie and I are also sad to hear of your break-in. It obviously hasn't stopped you from your wise thoughts and writing. Keep it up. We will be thinking of you and awaiting your next "edition".

With much respect and love,

D & M.

Outstanding, Matt. And I'm sorry for the break-in. Having suffered similarly, though not likely as drastically, I know what it's like.

Thank you, Chris. Coming from you, it is truly an honor. I revisited some of your work as I processed it. Your writing inspired and inspires me to say exactly what I know and feel with humility, grace, and a healthy share of ire toward injustice.
