It’s always a blessing to read your work, Sam. I’m glad this week has been going so well. Even in times it isn’t, what brings me consolation is sometimes these words from Yeats:

“Life is a journey up a spiral staircase; as we grow older we cover the ground covered we have covered before, only higher up; as we look down the winding stair below us we measure our progress by the number of places where we were but no longer are. The journey is both repetitious and progressive; we go both round and upward.”
