Really wonderful and introspective writing, I am particularly fond of these lines:
“Live by what you feel is right, my dear friends. Live the moment, work for what you love, and learn. As much as you can. And love, forever.” Such powerful optimism even in the face of uncertainty. Thank you! — Stephen

How many of us feel this way? Lost in a forest, lost in the woods fearing the monsters that lurk. Yet… we are not alone, there are others… perhaps this is exactly why the beginning of this cafe was inspired by the tree top cafe in Go Dog Go… a place we can climb to get above the monsters and be with kindred spirits. Thank you for sharing with us — Stephen

Liked very much. One of my favorites this week! I am particularly fond of this line: The third option, the ceiling, is a blank canvas needing some form of imagination dripped upon it. However, the entire imagery and allegory surrounding the moon is so powerful… I believe all writers probably share these moments. Thank you for sharing. — Stephen
