I love this synthesis of thoughts and experience and reflections and anecdotes and cultural observations, and everything else. Incredibly it holds together. And above all, it holds my attention beautifully.

thanks for the essay. One of the messages in DeLillo is that there is more noise in _all_ systems than our so usefully reductionist minds can bother to present. your heart had to be alive and noisy for the ablation to work ( I know a great tech in that field if you want to talk to a fun 'ablationist' ), the sticks are always a little off, jaunts have side trips. Thanks again.

Love the heartbeat essay. Touching, old friend. And timely as well, as another friend of mine is looking at the same procedure in the near future. Thanks for this.
