Ohhh, this lands. At the end, the part about “revelations in our writing… the moment of being” crystallized something I’ve been fumbling toward on my own blog about French culture and language. Most of what I post are tiny “Aix-plosions” of understanding—some true, some hilariously not, but always sincerely believed in the moment. Your framing gives me a way to be more intentional. I’m going to start building each piece around a revelation.

Reviewing The Garden Party was a worthwhile Sunday morning read. Thanks. I suggest you give Janis Siegel's version of Small Day Tomorrow a listen. That's the one I was 'raised on.' It's pretty great.

I love that you were 'raised' on this song! I'd never heard it before!

I re-read the Garden Party recently and think about it all the time.
