    Thank you so much. Reminds me of amazing performances by the National Theater of the Deaf, which illuminated the spoken word, to which I have access.

    As someone with a hearing disability, this speaks so vibrantly with me and how I feel about the barrier between me and those who hear normally. Such a powerful message that’s delivered in such an artistically creative way!!

    Thank you for opening up the world of ... (I don't exactly know what to say) ... deafness, ALS, ?? ... to me, to us. I recently saw a shorts video where a deaf woman heard her husband's voice for the same time, such joy and amazement. Your poem and its video accompaniment has done something similar for me. I feel like I have... not actually I HAVE heard and understood, at least a little better, what deaf friends hear when hey speak to one another and it is beautiful. Thanks again.

    Remarkable. You almost make hearing an option, not a necessity.

    yes absolutely beautiful. So sad too. About siblings. Though my first thought was that this was a comment about documentaries about nature taking the place of nature. Perhaps it is that too. Anyway I completely relate to all of it, told in such a profound, moving, beautiful, poetic way. Thank you so much Raymond.
