Dear Alastair,

I've enjoyed your writing on space matters for many months now and I deeply appreciate the time and effort you put in.

I just read you mentioning that your personal life has been difficult. As a stranger, I can only wonder. Personally, I lost my father who was also my best friend late last year. While I have my wife and two young children to focus on and devotion on, it's still been difficult. Like many individual's experience of grief, there's little rhyme or reason to the exact spurts of pain and sadness I feel, with some days feeling almost normal and others a pit of darkness.

Anyway, once again thank you for the rich and enjoyable content Alastair. It is appreciated.

Daniel

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Daniel, and I can well understand the experience of grief you describe. All I can say is that with time the feelings settle and become easier to face, though they never - and should never - leave us completely.

Thank you for your comment, and I'm glad you enjoy reading my writing.

Look for straight lines. Look for order in regions that should be chaotic. Look for movement in volumes that should be motionless. Enlist AI in these searches.
