Fragments from a life


Trudging through New York in light snow, freezing, jobhunting
I learned I couldn't control certain things

Health

I learned she weighed hardly anything before she left us
I remember her swimming in the sea in November and December for feck's sake

She danced

rehearsing for the big role
the long corridor
the field for disappearing

She'd swing her head back with huge belly laughs hearing or telling stories
of making ends meet, paying bills

Bountiful
Working life
Big kitchen
The hotpress - trying to give the psychology of a person

To run

To Know My Own Heart
To produce feeling
