“I entered my sixties during a pandemic when contact with other people seemed fraught with dangers. A loner by nature, I hunkered down inside isolation with my cats for company and a sense of relief at this guilt-free separation from much of the human race. As the months went by, I found myself discarding many of the trappings that had troubled me in my adult life: struggling with male hegemony and unsolicited male attentions, squeezing my body into bras and anything with buttons, balancing on three-inch heels, watching both my mouth and my waistline. I recategorized those trappings as Disorders of Modern Life…and chewed them up, swallowed them down until they disappeared entirely.”

“I moved to Virginia from London in 1998, leaving behind my parents and two older sisters. It seemed to me that we as a family had embodied the adage “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” And yet a crack had appeared–insidious, barely visible–that grew over distance and time, fed by an inability or unwillingness to discuss deep seated angers and fears around abandonment, responsibility, and the high price of personal choices. The crack grew to a fracture and threatened to split us apart, and so I attempted, kintsugi style, to repair it with a silence that shifted slowly into a quietness and with a mindful attention to my words, each time deciding if what I had to say was true, necessary and ultimately kind. The light is slowly sifting back across our lives. ”

“I had travelled home for my father’s funeral. After the service, the house emptied and I was alone with my mother in the house in which I was born. My mother had been wearing a jerkin that evening to stay warm, but it had developed a hole and she wanted to throw it away. After she went to bed, I retrieved it and paired it with a pink polo shirt of my father’s. He had done his best to hold her safe and she had been content to be held. ”

“I was a child who hid. Under tables, under stairs, behind sofas. At first, the hiding was a gathering in of grown up things: words passed between my mother and my aunts, between my older sisters, of rare arguments between my parents, their words like small weak bullets fired from armchair to armchair. Later, my hiding was from myself, from what had been done or seen. I hid inside secrets and words, behind silence and acquiescence, behind malleability. I hid in woods where older children stood like trees, where they showed who and what they were only when I had moved beyond the swings, beyond the roundabouts.
