I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

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!!!!
