epitome of incomprehensibility

A belated welcome, ovenbird! I love what you wrote on "lacuna." E.g. how the cave descriptions weren't just a recurring metaphor, but something imagistic, absorbing. Maybe expressing the strangeness of loss, how home seems like a new land all of a sudden. The title bringing things together: a space, a lack, a mystery.
...
About writing on a blathe someone else started, there are no rules. More like a few conventions, varying from person to person. Sometimes if people comment on something that went before, they put their words in parentheses. Or put it in a different blathe. One common place is the writer's "blatherskite" or "skite" name - their "blathernym."
(Blather: rated "L" for imaginary language. Dream_words and etc.)
Back on topic - in my case, I wanted to offer a more general welcome. Also, I had maybe a similar thought of not wanting to intrude on something private - maybe because I haven't had this particular grief and disappointment. Also also, I'll usually post something if I feel I have something else to say about that word or phrase.
Here "lacuna" hasn't given me a story yet, except that its Latinate plural "lacunae" sounds like a frilly flower. A fringe of things left out.
But yes, simply put, I'm glad you're here and I can read your writing.
