Please keep this: "continuous discussion of the search for meaning, often through a prism of adventure." Why must we pander to the short attention span? Good writing keeps a reader engaged or the reader was never intended to be your reader.
“Art speaks to us differently.” That’s really the essence of it all! I have a thought piece on the purpose of art coming out Sunday and now I’m wishing I’d read this before writing it. I really like your perspective!
Thanks, Erik. I’m looking forward to your forthcoming peace. If you haven’t read Art & Fear, I really do recommend it. There are some gems in there that really helped me move through some blocks, but also enlightened me to the fact that some of my grumblings about creating art (i.e., writing) are not that unique.
Good luck with deer season. I lack the dramatic foliage change in Idaho that I grew up with in Maine, but now fall is more marked by the transference of tags from the desk to the wallet in anticipation of season openings.
I love this. In medicine, I want AI to take on the repeatable, uninteresting, administrative and soulless tasks that have drained the meaning out of the work. For me, the best example right now is recording the visit and then documenting it in the form that the business people and lawyers require. What’s left: making meaningful healing connection with my patients through conversation, as only humans can do with each other.
I am an anti-crossbow crossbow user. My shoulder never recovered and as such I shoot low weight bows and keep the crossbow for hunting since NC allows crossbows.
AI misses something, perhaps the way that a vegan burger may taste good but at the end of the day its still not the thing it is trying to emulate.

Thank you, Stacy. You said it beautifully.

Jesse, sometimes it feels like we're writing the same pages, just in different books. Terrific stuff, as always.
(I did, by the way, ask ChatGPT to write an essay in your style. An interesting facsimile, but a facsimile nonetheless.)
About the ChatGPT essay: That's hilarious, Lou (dark chuckle).
And I agree about our shared authorship of this "book" we're writing- you said it eloquently.
Thanks.
I’m really looking forward to future spear deering stories…
I agree with Lou. You two have a very similar outlook on life while writing about it in your own unique ways.
Fully human and completely beautiful.

You too, Melissa. I’d love to hunt out there at some point. It’s just a matter of choosing a spot, species, and where I can get a tag! 😊
I definitely take the foliage for granted. It’s been early this year since we’re in a drought.

Well said; I think that summarizes the perfect application of AI!

That's a spot-on analogy, Cameron. AI is it's own "thing."
I agree about being an anti-xbow user. I'm the same way with game cameras.
BTW, I'm still in awe of your bow making. Someday I'll try making one!
