READING THESE PIECES

This was a plan for a particular person to read. References to that person were eliminated.

Please skip what you need to skip and then choose to come back or not.

You may wish to discuss some of these with your partner, perhaps after your partner reads them.

Feedback on whether this is helpful is very much welcomed but not required or requested of you.
