my week in objects (mostly).

maine, mostly.

1. this blueberry.

{and the others that ripened this week.}

2. this dock.

{and the hours my kids have spent jumping off it.}

3. this path.

{and its singular scent.}

4. this inner tube.

{and floating in it.}

5. this hammock.

{and swinging in it.}

other things:

men who wanted nothing but a better life for their children.

the breathless air.

swimsuit modeling at 60.

were there days like this when you were a kid?

there were no displays of domination, only expressions of sharing power.

what do we do with the men who do not even dare taste or touch these conversations?
