This post is a satisfying feast, and for me, the most nourishing course is the excerpt from your novel. You have a rare ability to render poetic prose and ground it in tangible, tactile details that create a world that is both magical and believable. I would love to see you unleash more of your fiction, promoting it from the back burner to the dining room table. Thanks for sharing it. Keep going!

Julie, I read this twice to let it all soak in, and intend to read it again along with your December and January Walden stories. Incredible! I love how you intertwined your fiction, beautifully done! I'm excited to subscribe and begin practicing hope. Thank you!

Even before I came to the words body-prayer, I could see the altar forming. I love prose that reads like poetry and this was lovely.

I lived reading your fiction excerpt Julie! It's beautifully written and rendered using such a real way. I think it's a fascinating premise and I would love to read more. Could you serialise your fiction into separate posts perhaps?

I took a photo of my kitty basking in a sunbeam, but can’t attach or paste it here.
