simmering drag, a photo by McBeth on Flickr.By the time we are women, fear is as familiar to us as air. It is our element. We live in it, we inhale it, we exhale it, and most of the time we do not even notice it. Instead of "I am afraid," we say, "I don't want to," or "I don't know how," or "I can't". -- Andrea Dworkin

pearly whites, a photo by McBeth on Flickr. Maybe it’s like this, Max--you know how, when you are working on a long and ordered piece, all sorts of bright and lovely ideas and images intrude. They have no place in what you are writing, and so if you are young, you write them in a notebook for future use. And you never use them because they are sparkling and alive like colored pebbles on a

Dirty confession time. I've never been particularly skilled at either forgiving or forgetting. This is not something I am proud to admit but it's the truth, and it's something I have wrestled with my entire life. Silently to myself I sometimes think, "Yes, I am done being angry at...", or "Yes, I have moved on from...", or "No, I'm not harboring resentment about...", but mere days after being

pin, a photo by McBeth on Flickr.Last Days Donald Hall "It was reasonable to expect." So he wrote. The next day, in a consultation room, Jane's hematologist Letha Mills sat down, stiff, her assistant standing with her back to the door. "I have terrible news," Letha told them. "The leukemia is back. There's nothing to do." The four of them wept.  He asked how long, why did it happen now?
