Holy shit, Erik!!! Are you kidding me?!? I would have disintegrated into the desert sand if someone had put their hand on my shoulder, looked me in the eye and quoted Whitman like that. Can’t believe that actually happened to you and at the same time I’m like,“of course that happened to you”. The poetic Gods are smiling on you. I hope the open vistas and starry skies are clearing your soul! 🤍

Wait... Is Charley a real person you met or did you invent him? I’m so gullible and your post is written so well I can’t tell. 😆

Great writing. One of your best, I think. So glad you crossed paths with Charley.

A blessing.
