Jordan,

I am impressed by your writing and intellect. I was also very touched by many parts of this piece. One of my favorite lines was, “To live is to commune with one’s environment – and every living environment is full of other lives whom our actions will inevitably shape. “ I look forward to reading and learning more from you.

All my best,

Kristi
