A Leisurely Life

It was made abundantly clear to me yesterday, by more than one person, that they have little to no interest in my words. If they fit into accepted boundaries, they’re harmless and can be engaged with (but then, what is there to say?). If they stray but a little, on the other hand, they are simply not to be countenanced. Believe it or not, I’m grateful for this insight. For 55 years, I worked my ass off trying to make people understand me (and I treasure the few who do)—turns out it’s no way to make a living. So, I am taking a well deserved vacation. I don’t know when I’ll be back.
