love in the time of covid


I'm not so much about dumping my personal life IN THIS way on these pages; so up front and simple, no meandering thoughts -- and asides (with the possible parentheticals recalling how pictures like this appear in dreams on old refrigerators), but with all the isolation and heaviness that seems to have lifted a bit recently, I can holler at a beautiful, intelligent woman and say "we can make it through anything". And we can look out at the world and smile and invite anyone to join us in moving forward.
