I am also in the midst of moving and leaving part of an old life left behind. My move through persistent desire for city life. Minneapolis where things happen. A new independence, from July 6. My mother did the same thing at 80. She became her social self. Traveled to Greece. Held a church woman’s guild presidency. I don’t think it’s genetic. Patrick, yours unwanted, unsought. May it nonetheless bring joy.
Patrick I am concerned that you live in rented accommodation. As I am sure you are aware this makes you vulnerable. Of course no one is secure as the West implodes.
Your fine writing is worth the wait, may the move and space offer ever richer inspiration.
I await your return!
I am sorry to learn of this unpleasant experience.

Yes indeed, moving is always bad, especially under circumstances like yours. Good luck, and thanks for that Auden poem!
Blessings for your presence. Poetry, & thoughts. Blessings on your life & work. Blessings on your families & colleagues. Who are legion.
Holding, holding, holding you.
May peace wrap your world- weary bodies.
amen.

Wishing you all the best, Patrick.
One door closes, but another one opens.
May God bless.
