I always enjoy your pieces, even though I have not been on Roosevelt Island for many years. You speak from a big-picture perspective, with a small-picture level of detail, making your insights relevant well beyond the East River. Oh, the humanity!
Laura, your words found me at just the right moment.
I had just finished my morning coffee, and yet somehow your note carried far more warmth than the cup beside me ever could. There is something deeply comforting in knowing that the Island’s quieter truths still travel, still resonate, even with those who have long since crossed the river.
You understood exactly what I hoped to hold in that piece. The small moments. The ones that linger longer than they should.
Thank you for reading so closely, and for reminding me why I keep writing.

Eleanor always gives us our behavioral medicine gently, poetically and with a wistfulness that makes us want to please her. We want to be better.
Lazy Activist, it’s good to hear from you again.
If my words nudge even a small step forward, then they’ve done their job.
