That's a highly generous compliment. Thanks, Ryan.
I knew that, as my colleague was giving his advice, if what he said was true then it would help me get past an obstacle I've been butting up against for a while. And it did.
I thought of the headline first (I love double entendres), probably the day after I went. And this blog post had been simmering in my head all week.
My only self-critique of this is I wonder if I really need the first couple of paragraphs. I left them intentionally vague, but as is they seem to be a good jumping-off point for the rest of the story. The cosmic imagery, I feel, is at once intense and accessible to anyone.
Stan, this is one of the best things you've ever written.
