I just wanted to say how deeply I appreciate you for putting this together. It's critical timing for a story I've been wrestling to tell justly. I paused and reflected so many times, filling pages of notes ... but also connected many things in my mind and spirit I haven't been able to connect as precisely as what you presented. Thank you and I want you to know I will honor your investment of sharing AT in this way, more than you'll ever ever know, for the benefit of many people...
