It's not often these days that writing takes me somewhere besides my chair and desk. This solstice morning I was a coal miner, holding my own canary and my breath as your words unfolded.

Thank you, Sandra. I'm so happy to be a part of your escape. I am also chained to my chair and desk more than is good for me.
