April 27, 2023 Dear Mr. Cole Stanley: As I sit down to write this letter, we are a week away from Amarillo’s mayoral election. Judging by the number of yard signs, conversations with my neighbors, and Facebook comments, I expect that you will be the next mayor of Amarillo. It’s been a controversial election this year, which means, unfortunately, you’ll be entering office under a dark cloud.
Love this. I couldn’t help but think of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s discussion on the gift economy though. Less of debts and owing and more of relationships and value. If you haven’t read Braiding Sweetgrass, I so recommend it. Much love my friend.
Thanks, Michelle. I'll have to check out Kimmerer's book. The ecological aspect is really appealing. (For the record, I'm no fan of the debts of gratitude economy, but it is the flavor of water we swim in. How do we operate in both economies?) Love to you, too.

Very good Seth. I would like to see the painting....and hear more about this maybe.
Just maybe... Great job, Seth!
Thanks, Sam.
Answers are just questions being formed ;)
