I had to laugh at "Does a Center for the Study of Existential Dread exist? Are they hiring?" I think that, by definition, that kind of center would never get formed! As for the painting: do you think she intentionally has her hair blowing to the right, but the curtain to the left?

Very true, Mark! Not sure on the painting, but definitely makes me wonder. Thanks for being here.

Emily, I’m so enchanted with how you began this list, not only because I am a long fan of Shel Silverstein, but you zeroed in on just the right preface to this and all lists. Like Mark, I laughed at: “does the Center for the Study of Existential Dread exist? Are they hiring?” Well now, all of this might just linger in the interstitium between us. Your complication of images is stunning, and I am ever-grateful to you for sharing about the forthcoming “Awakening to the Heart” course. Thank you, dear Friend.

Thank you for this Renee. I’m so happy that you appreciate the “complication of images.” You’ve given me such a great phrase for describing what happens in my brain! So glad you are here in the interstitium with me.

Emily, I completely missed that typo! Clearly, my mind, too, is a complication of images!

(A very dear friend wrote a dissertation that meanders about the interstitium: "Interstitial Transmogrification—Boundaries as Bridges for Serendipities of Stewardship: Alchemical Hermeneutics of Gift Culture Recovery")

Well, the typo worked for me! I love "boundaries as bridges."
