Lovely lovely piece - enjoyed it more than any other essay I’ve read recently and I’ve read quite a few good ones- it’s 4.30 am as I write this - I need to go to bed. I’ll write a more nuanced and detailed comment later. Just wanted to say I’m glad I stumbled on this blog and that I love your writing

I'm happy to hear that!

I learned it in a workshop with Sue Morrison, who studied under Pochinko. https://canadianclowning.com/classes/.
Intense is accurate.
