Ryan, I dare say this is the best post you’ve put out on this newsletter. The narration was lovely; there was a rhythm in the way that you read it that made me pay attention to the feeling behind it.
I love the way you shared your personal story in parallel to Venice and Barcelona's changes. I love the quote from Clean Straw for Nothing. Change is interesting isn't it. I appreciate your thoughts on small changes versus big changes. Do we need to change? I think we can change what we do and if we make other people happy through those changes, perhaps some of that comes back in our direction. I like this quote, though, which reflects how I feel about who I am, because intrinsically I am the same person I was as a child, as a teenager, as a 30 year old. "Wherever you go, there you are.”
—Thomas a Kempis, Imitation of Christ, ca. A.D. 1440

Ryan, such an honest and beautifully written piece. I find your cogent explanation of such personal and challenging insights breathtaking. Write on!
Cleverly crafted as always and honest and compelling reading. So insightful yet instructive. Thankyou.
