Chankan what?

Patrick and I met on Twitter almost a year ago. I was impressed by his story, which is one of both almost unimaginable grief as well as awe-inspiring resilience. Since then we have chatted almost every day on every imaginable subject and have become very close friends. I have begun helping him to get his life on track but the miracle of our connection is too great to keep to myself, so we decided to collaborate to produce the blog which are now reading. All of the words are Patrick’s—I have only edited for clarity. I hope you will find value in his work and subscribe accordingly. He is hard-working, conscientious, and generous in spite of his dire straits, and I think you will find any assistance you offer will be magnified through him. — Fletcher Moore, Red Clay Bestiary
