In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

Christopher. I so cherish you. While we have not, and likely will not, meet in person your wisdom and spirit have become so familiar and precious in my life. I honor you in so many ways. The last few posts have cracked me wide open. Feelings of anxiety leaking through those cracks that I might soon lose this amazing man in my life. Yes, we all leave. But I’m clearly not ready for you to leave any time soon. Not that you will. But when that is whispered in what you write…it breaks my heart.
They, however they heck ‘they’ are, say that you grieve to the depth of your love. That I’m experiencing grief reminds me how much I care for you, friend.
Even though I don’t always respond…because I’m too emotional about what you have written…please know that I read every post and think so much of you. I am here. Perhaps not able to be here for you in ways that geography prevents, but always here for you in spirit. In love and respect and admiration.
You are an amazing man, Christopher. A gift in my life. A gift and Light in the world!!!
Blessings to you!!!!
