A note from LoveLetterist:

On my morning treasure hunt through my inbox, I came across this brilliant analysis of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

My biggest take-away was the reminder that we are creating our lives, individually and collectively.

Why do we expend so much energy railing against what we do not like?

Instead of building better?

Your LoveLetter today and Dale Carnegie’s quote brought to mind an Elvis Presley lyric: (written by Joe South)

“And before you abuse, criticize, and accuse,

Just walk a mile in my shoes.”

I’m curious about “staying two steps ahead.” I’ve read that we’ll never get there as we live in the now.

And I implore you, don’t pull a Mary Oliver on us! Of course if you duplicate her move, you’ll be here in sunny Florida. Please bring along some of your tools of the trade. Muses, Henny, and of course your watercolor stuff. The kid could come for visits while competing in tournaments...😁
