<p>Hi Gin, one of the things I like most about these pieces (and your response) is that they show that <em>anyone</em> can do asemic writing and express something to someone else. Children write asemically before they learn to write conventionally. It is wired into all of us.</p>

<p>You make sharing these worthwhile!</p>
