Year in Review

We know the orcas are right to sink yachts but we can’t help but betray our infatuation with a certain lifestyle.

There’s a one-sidedness to the second-generation relationship. The homeland looms large in our imagination but we don’t in theirs.

 I didn’t want to know what I was looking for. I didn’t want to search or bid. What I wanted was the dream.

As grief shaped daily life over the past three years, one of the few things that has reliably brought me comfort  is helping my dog be brave.

There was something about the country where I was born that had always eluded me.
