Appreciation for the snapshots of a life unfolding in Japan (a place I just spent two weeks solo for the first time after a decade of mothering and not traveling). The essay on desire was brilliant. So rich and honest and nuanced. I’ve not read anything so intimate and vulnerable in a long time.
Thank you. Japan had a generous hand in making me who I am and I am excited to return there. And thank you especially for engaging in Desire, Desiring, Desired.
Oh I hope the house hunt goes well for you and that you and Hiro grab that brass ring now rather than later. If things don’t fall into place, then you have your answer. But I’m all in favor of living the dream whenever you can. And of course I already knew what an incredible writer you are. Cheering you on in all the things.
I happen to find "sphincter" to be such a fun word. Is it a male Sphinx? A little Sphinx? And our anatomy is replete with sphincters because they are, muscularly, a great way to create a boundary between inside and outside.
Yes. Fun word! It reminds me of the bandhas in yoga practice. All these energy centers or portals in the human body that we may be unaware of...until they give us/me grief.

Thank you! Hopefully the home in Japan will be large enough to welcome writing friends.
Sending your fuzzy red heart some hugs and wow, yes, that Audacity essay. More than one sphincter?!
