Pardon the emoji, but 🥲. Writing sometimes scares me because of the vulnerability it demands from me. Your writing continues to inspire me to write. Thank you for sharing this special reflection, amigo.
'I found scribing little vespers in the dark by some miracle of creation turns a prayer into a vacation. Even when my son stirs, I am not bothered, for this kind of rest mends more than mortal wounds. '
I. Just. Loved. This. “The most restful writing for me is words of affection. Some call this romantic. I must admit I am a Latin man with a head still a bit Roman but empires aside, I believe anxiety a sign of atrophied agency. After all what is agency, but the practice of affecting?”
I loved it all, but especially that. Such a profound perspective. 🙏🙏

I reread this several times:

Beautiful!
Is the name of your Substack a reference to Matthew 8:23-27?
Yes.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I just caught that.
Really enjoyed this brother.
