Elvira, every time you teach me something amazing, I think, "yeah, no way she's going to top this another time - this was pretty cool, " --- later, you write, and bam: you do it again!

listen - I have to tell you! I want to learn this!!! I really really do - and I'm genuinely intrigued!

I was just saying today, that I'm frustrated that I haven't expanded my vocabulary as much as I want to - seeing how well so many writers use many more words than I do.

And then when you presented this: which as you said, is the exact opposite - somehow, it felt "refreshing!"

I want to know what it "feels" like to communicate with such few words -- so...bookmarked and a goal for this year: learn Toki Pona!!!!

LOVE your pieces, you and this -- thank you so much for teaching me this!
