"When everything else has gone from my brain ... what will be left, I believe, is topology: the dreaming memory of land as it lay this way and that." Annie Dillard
But since last year, January 6th has taken on a different meaning, one of anger and fear and ignominy. The opposite of light and wonder.
You could say that last year's January 6th was a revelation. It revealed a dark truth about this nation. But I'd rather keep the day free of politics, let it stay in my mind the capstone of the season, a day to reflect with hope on the year just dawning.

I’m a writer and editor, the author of "Parents Who Think Too Much" and a freelancer published everywhere from the "New York Times" to "Woman’s Day." I’ve been scribbling my thoughts in one tattered notebook or another for most of my life, but this blog is the first time I’ve gone public. I'm glad you've landed here, and I hope you visit often.
