Very thoughtful piece. I have always measured my writing on the comments I get from readers. Not on sales of books or views on a website. We live in a society that measures success with the elements of capitalism. How wrong is that? Onward.

Ah, yes! Capitalism is great for trading goods. It's not so great for helping us to see each other & connect in meaningful ways. The dialogue in response to a piece is lovely, I agree. Little points of light.
