Well, I goofed. I really thought I’d have something to say to the world. I didn’t, but now I do. I have travelled an incredibly bad patch of road this past year. The only thing I have left is a sense that the world is generous, both with crap and with amazingly enriching relationships. I am now ( really and truly for those who’ve heard this before) a single mom on the skids. I am living by the skin of my teeth and the charity of strangers in Durham, NC. I am back in the book business, working part time for a chain store. I love the books and the people who read them, but am not sure I still support the company’s manifesto. More on that another time…. I’m not sure where I need to go from here. I have followed others’ trials via blog and have gained some insight as to where I need to take my life. I just feel so un-capable and so isolated right now. Perhaps I can use this medium to make some connections or at least find a concrete way to solve my own problems.
