Really enjoyed this piece. You have a knack for capturing vivid descriptions, "animated by the motion of trees in the lazy wind." And of course, as we have previously discussed, having suffered my own hearing loss, this speaks to me. Looking forward to reading the next parts.

Thank you for the kind words, fren. I look forward to when I'll be back to writing about literature and other things. Autobiography is not a genre with which I've much familiarity.

I eagerly await Parts II and III, Paul. Though it’s a travail for you to write about it, thank you, in advance.

Thank you, Night Owl. Your gratitude means a great deal. Part II is proving to be, as I thought it would be, the most difficult by far. It is not a pleasant thing to pry up scar tissue of the soul and rehearse the horrors of the past tense.
