Wonderful essay! It’s abundantly clear what you’re passionate about. I especially enjoyed the paragraph on the human body, fascinating! Your word choices are great as they make your points come alive. Many times I stopped to look up definitions which I love to do so as to “never stop learning.” I’m also enjoying your new illustrations.
Thanks! It's a tricky balance to strike between using the words I want to, and using words I think the reader will understand... I hope they weren't too interrupting
…an excellent evocation of a horrifying moment…i could have lived in more of that story…for me the first half, sans the reflection, taught me a lot about fear and understanding…i appreciated what you took from yourself as denouement in the second half but almost didn’t need it…though i understand the katharsis of reflection…have you ever done harder drugs than writing?…it would be curious to know where else you sought whatever you think the man you saved was seeking…is writing your only fix?…
No, for me writing is the only drug I need. But I can respect and appreciate what others have experienced. I know not all trips are as bad as the ones that I've seen on 911 calls haha
