Great story. So moving, on so many levels, it would melt an ice-heart. Your words are teardrops for life and nature, and an inspiration to read.
Thank you, John, for your touching words — I’m flattered. I am so grateful to eco-fiction.com for this chance to share my work!
There are many climates on this third rock from our sun: that obvious 40-mile paper-thin fragile ecosphere within which we all live; the climate of human interaction with all other living things and themselves; and the climate of possibility, the organized and random nature of all living things. Robert Sassor’s piece is a lovely accessible swath cut thru the climates, a beautiful portrayal of the faces of life, and death. It’s like a writing that feels more fit for a comfy British reader telling the story out loud than even for just the eyes. And from me that’s the highest compliment.
Dear Michael: I’m speechless. Thank you so much for your generous words. I am honored that you felt this way about the story!
Rob:
Congratulations. This is a beautiful story, beautifully written.

Thank you, John. Your words mean so much coming from a writer of your stature. I was honored to be on the short list with you!
It’s really amazing, I’m translating into Arabic and I’m really in needing to have a conversation with you
