Richard, your piece "A Screwy (tape) Letter" is a brilliant and chilling reflection on the subtle decay of the human spirit. How you weave modern anxieties with timeless themes of despair and distraction is thought-provoking and eerily relatable. It is a masterful exploration of our vulnerabilities. On a lighter note I love JOMO (joy of missing out) being out of the loop is just pure rebellious fun :)
Jon, Thank you for your kind words. The theme of missing out has been running through my head recently, and I've tried to unpack it in several ways. Ours is an era of distraction, and the subtle things do us in.
Wow! What a profound assessment of FOMO (fear of missing out) in today's zeitgeist. I, too, see myself in this description and will try harder to resist the true Enemy. Posting on UM Insight later.
Yes, it's conversation that is always taking shape and ongoing at the same time. Thank you. I know if it's something I'm feeling, as with what's happening with our family's struggle with cancer, others must be in a similar place.

Very insightful! I recognize myself in the way this Screwy influences me.
Thank you, Eugene. Yes, this Screwy was sending a message I needed to heed. Rhyme intended :)
