There’s a wonderful book, “The Polar Express”, about a boy on the cusp of not believing in Santa.⠀
⠀
He’s whisked away in the middle of the night by a bullet train to the North Pole. Santa chooses him to request the first gift of Christmas. With license to choose anything his heart desires, he opts instead for a small gift, a token really. A bell from Santa’s sleigh. . .⠀

New writing piece . . . ⠀

I hope you will put on your red coat and red mittens and red muffler and walk to town to your favorite store. The store you love to go to because it has unexpected things. Things you have yet to discover. Things that inspire you. A store you wander through like a personal museum. Mittens from Finland. Local pottery with leather handles. Fuzzy mauve scarves with big stitches. Cards with berries stuck on them. Packets of juniper seeds. . .⠀

New Writing piece: ⠀
⠀
My daughter phones me.⠀
⠀
It is the first of December.⠀
⠀
“I couldn’t sleep last night”, she tells me. “I think my body knows what time of year it is.”⠀
⠀
She is right. I feel it too.⠀

NEW ON THE BLOG: ⠀
⠀
I woke up this morning and found myself thinking about Jill.⠀
⠀
I relate to Jill.⠀
⠀
She seems normal.⠀
⠀
I bet she spills things down her dress at state dinners. Has to carry a Tide stick.⠀
⠀
Has moles on her back. Like her grandmother.⠀
⠀
Has to sit down when she’s putting on her panty hose so she doesn’t pass out. . .⠀

The perimeter of an egg. 🍳⠀
⠀
If you think of our lives as a fried egg, we’re in the yolk.⠀
At least for the foreseeable future.⠀
⠀
We’ve pared our lives down.⠀
⠀
We’re home more than ever before. In our safe place. Our yolk.⠀
⠀
We’re living alone. With a spouse. Or have children living with us.⠀
⠀
We’re down to the basics. . .⠀
