Absolutely stunning, brother. Your sentences and thought-progression are as clear as day. I read your A Shifting Portrait when it was first published, I think, and it's a delight reading it again.

I think strength can overwhelm. Can be over-. I made it my goal not to be strong at all times, most especially in those things a man is expected to be strong at.

No better way to have articulated my thought and experience than by this piece.
