Taking Up Space

I went for a run two hours after the call came from Curtis that his dad was gone. I covered familiar ground, sticking to the sidewalks through the neighborhood nearest the village library. I just learned (I read every single installment of the library e-newsletter, of course) a water pipe…

What Love Made Me Do

During a recent doomscroll session on Facebook, I pulled myself away and forced a full stop. I had a mission to fulfill. But first, the doomscrolling — I belong to a private Facebook group made up entirely of women who in some way are separated from the Mormon church. Some…

Tofu and the Three Ghosts

My immediate future is bringing me a delicious stir-fry for dinner. I started preparations for that future several hours ago when I removed the tofu from the freezer and set it on the counter to thaw. I learned the hard way that frozen tofu doesn’t actually unfreeze itself by sitting…

Being Human

Seen: the tears I can’t not cry whenever I speak my brother Peter’s name. Unseen: the clinch that tightens around my throat with my tears’ falling. Is this a cause and effect? or is it simply Grief’s calling card? Seen: their 59th anniversary prompt on today’s calendar. Unseen: the lump I…

I love myself enough to knit whenever I feel like it, even when I’m drinking. Friends let friends knit drunk or sober. And I am nothing if not a friend to myself. The best kind who loves me enough to drink orange juice with peanut butter toast because that sweet/tart…
