Aloha Ben,

Thanks for writing this. I appreciate your point of view. I come from kind people, myself. Growing up, we did not go to church (I still have never been to church, per se), but my father would quote Dylan or Kerouc, along with Buddhist and Native American philosophy. He still does.

I'm glad that you finally found a good rheumatologist who actually helped you and that you were able to get off the MTX.

Life is hard, sometimes, no? Lately, I think that is the only unassailable truth, aside from death and taxes. But there's also good stuff there, too! Just gotta keep your eyes open to find it.

Take care,
~Moll
