      Thanks for this one, Bill. I learned a while ago that the universal is FOUND in the particular. This essay helps nr to see that is true.

      Right up my alley! Wow - dynamite!

      Another connection to "relevant" might be "recognize." Because when I read writing like this, I immediately recognize myself, which makes the writing so relevant to me. And that's why we read, right? To experience the euphoria of Wow - someone else feels the same way that I feel. Yogis say "Namaste," which means "The Light In Me Sees The Light In You." Different ways to describe the same thing: the transfer of energy between souls.

      Needless to say, I'm all over Garth Greenwell now.
