Read a few of your pieces yesterday, and was wildly impressed — it's been a busy few days. But this is me putting a stake down so I remember to give your art the attention it deserves tomorrow.

That's incredibly kind—the comment, yes— but more that you took the time to click through. 🙏 I realized only after my recent restack that woah–this is the same JC for whom the letters had been scrawled into last week's collage with Letraset (I will tag you). I feel very behind much of the (read *all of the*) time in terms of worthwhile writings. I have only myself to blame; my genuine-excited-interest/time-on-phone ratio is all wrong. Thank goodness for @bitpunkfm.

Absolutely lovely, I have been recently going through my little boxes, grand minutia to hold in my hands again. Enjoyed your back story too

Many thanks for reading, Marjorie—“grand minutia” is such a perfect phrase. I appreciate you taking the time to read the backstory, too.

i'm limp and ready to weep, with reading this post, Celia. Your poem, and delicate explanation, were very moving to me. i intend to print it out. i have just the trinket box it will go in, folded up into a small message packet, waiting for the one who sifts thru my things, at some point in the future....(the only question i have is: WHICH trinket box?)

Wow. There is no greater honor than knowing something I wrote landed so deeply that you want to print it and tuck it away for a future encounter. That kind of private preservation is . . . well, it is very special. Thank you for this, Julia.

(And yes: WHICH trinket box?!)
