Fast forward almost three years later…(!)
Cue the interim movie montage: we’ve moved x2, added a son-in-law we love named Steven, had some adventures, wore masks, added a granddaughter we love named Cora, been on a zillion Zooms, added a dog we mostly love named Penny, recalibrated some of our long term plans, spent an undisclosed amount of time watching Netflix and AppleTV, tried to figure out chronic health mysteries, gathered as a family in Andover and Maine and Utah.
That’s the external. Internally I’ve been trying to summon that version of me from the before times. Anyone else feel that? In particular, I feel like I lost some of my writing verve (hence the almost three year span of silence). Is it a case of use-it-or-lose-it? I’m hopeful that showing up here with my fingers on the keyboard will help me forge some kind of inroads back to myself, to the creative wellspring I used to take for granted. Where would I find a writing-well divining rod?
