Dear, dear friend :) Just read this message…so warm! I am practicing with my band now, in a studio, and I want to reply properly, with thought. Your clarity and honesty are indeed moving, and just to let you know, I completely understand you & get your point.

I was going to ask where you were from, but now I know. My heart is with your country and your people in this horrendously tragic time — How are things in your hometown, Prasant? I hope relatively safe, however “safe” that is, these days. :(

I wrote and published a poem some weeks ago, a sort of prayer for India which, though short, might give you some comfort. It is called “Enough, Earth! Enough!”

Anyway, must go downstairs and rock out with my friends/bandmates. If you want, we can trade social medias. Might be easier if I feel like sharing some of my music. You can find me as Pedro B. Gorman on all social media platforms, name is the same everywhere. If you would rather just keep it to Medium, no problem either.

Will write more later! You may not be awake when I finish, as it is 2:43pm in Lisbon now, and I should be home by 7pm or so. If not today, you may wake up to a comforting message tomorrow! :)

Big hug, my friend! Much love, hope & strength! :)
