“We sit outside and argue all night long About a god we’ve never seen But never fails to side with me…”
In a too long delayed conversation, Dr. Illusion tells me:
“You may not have many readers because you’re too dark for some people.”
Needless to say, I took that as a huge compliment.
Also, he said:
“[although you’re a Yankee], you could fit perfectly in a biker–bar down here.”
Again, I took it as a compliment.
Lastly, we had this exchange [his number is deleted for privacy’s sake]:

Too often ignores is the importance of older men as mentors to the young. Or more than ignored, actively discouraged.
It’s only now that I’ve come to realise how important male role models are to my development, so from a purely selfish context, thank you for posting your philosophies into the public sphere. Few young guns may find your words but Im sure, like me, those few appreciate it.

Truly.
Thank you.
