Such a treat Alissa! I once told you that your writing takes me on a scenic journey inside you and around you and this piece was a wonderful ride. I didn’t see Carlos Ghosn coming from a mile away - to which your ending was perfect.

But this perspective, is for me shiniest, and is what I will carry with me:

“I learn the first string has its limits. And don’t we all? Is this the cello’s lesson to me, a person refusing to see the limitations of people and things?”

I always appreciate what you find shiniest, James. Thank you so much for sharing it always. And I’m really glad the Ghosn anecdote worked!
