I especially loved “Just earlier that week down in Florida, a fawn was born on the edge of a hurricane. She was seen picking her way through the remains of a coastal town in her first hours of life, and the local news station held a poll, wondering if they should name her after an archangel or call her Promise. I dreamed they should name her Triumph, Felicity, Perpetua.”
I feel like I’ve crossed a threshold when I read your words. Thank you for creating and sharing, not just this piece and place, but all your other works of art, too. I am so grateful to be here.
Slowly I'm perusing your archives, and I just wanted to pause here at the very beginning and tell you how much this storied titling of your newsletter moves me. Savoring your writing is bringing me so much happiness.
This substack creation is officially one of my favourite good news stories of 2023! Yay to LTH being in the substack house! Honoured to be sharing writing space with such a good human who has such a good heart, with such a wonderful gift and talent to share with the world! Lucky us! x
This is beautiful, stunning, delightful. Hurray! So excited for your summer substack adventure--who knows what might startle you as you walk and write in this way. xx
So gorgeous, as if there was ever a doubt. You write with such lyrical effortlessness. Such beauty.
Thank you, LM!
This was beautiful Lindsey!

I'm so moved by this comment! Thank you for reading, Jan. I'm so grateful for your kind words.
So magical that I re-read it. Really beautiful writing, Lindsey.
Thank you so much!
“Reading bones” -- a phrase as lyrical and symbolic as this letter! Maybe a future writing prompt?
I love this idea, Amie!
