better than I have ever been

[porphyre]

This past week was a crucible. I did something I've never done before and come out of it like a phoenix from flame, a new thing, my impurities burned off, the corrosion washed away. If I play my cards right, I will never be the same again

Lovely poetry.
Are you saying you met a stranger for a drink and returned home a week later?

[porphyre]

Yes. Except for the bit when I went home to pack a bag. I was also busy crashing the American Assc. for the Advancement of Science conference, which I will endeavor to write about next.

This sounds like nascent excellence unfolding into the world.

It's incredible how thoroughly my melancholia has evaporated.

[morbid_curious]

Good! I am most happy for you :-)

And just because it's relevant:

Peter Fox: Alles Neu

You're right! Now that you mention it, I can feel it.
