Oh my lord! That is so beautiful. Thank you.

You look tired and happy. It's warm and raining here in Seattle. We are glad for your success. The rain is indifferent to all of us, but your words nourish us like the rain nourishes the rivers for the salmon.

Sherman, I hope your wife went w you to NY. This is obviously a triggering occasion for you and you need support. The poem is gutwrenching and I am sure the movie was really hard to make and perhaps hard for you to watch despite the accolades and fanfare. Protect your heart. Thank you for being the poet of a generation that broke through. Praying for you to emerge unscathed. Walk in your strength. Enjoy the beauty. Focus on the triumph you have attained.
