Wonderful. You probably know Jack Gilbert's poem On Failing and Flying. If not, you might like it.

Of course it was! Just your title alone was the poem. It's one of my favorite poems in the world! I give it in my workshops. Oh ! Thank you.

That’s great! He has so many that just stick with you. “Suddenly This Rain” and the one I think of as “grief box” even tho that is not the title - magic
