Dear A,

I write to you today for the first time and I feel free in the short adoxography that I have begun. I look forward to this journey that we will begin together and I hope for one thing, as always- that you are well. So... have you been well?

Credit for today's quote is a verse pulled from the poem "Dogfish" which belongs to American Poet and Pulitzer Prize Awardee, Mary Oliver,

*"Mostly I want to be kind.

And nobody, of course, is kind, or mean,

for a simple reason.

And nobody gets out of it,

having to swim through the fires

to stay in this world.*

Honorable mention includes a quote found on twitter by the modern American author, Samuel Miller @samtwomiller

"If you're only given one, single, cosmic moment to affect someone else's life, why would you ever show them anything but complete kindness?"
