The first half I initially thought was flat - boring ... then on the second time through, listening, it occurred to me that maybe I just didn't want to hear what you were saying in this part. Perhaps my brain rebelled because it wasn't what I wanted to hear, you weren't saying the right things, you were making this too hard, not telling the story the way "I" wanted to hear it, etc.... I don't know which it was - either way, it was a distinct challenge for me to really listen to/read.<br /><br />The second half, however, I really enjoyed, in a serious "I Really Need to Hear This" kind of way. What you developed in the second half is where I am currently and continually struggling. It left me in a serious and pensive mood; I listened with my head in my hands and many nods of assent. I want to go back and re-read it more carefully. If that's not a vote of approval, I don't know what is :-)!<br /><br />Thank you.
