"The process of writing is the painful recovery of things that are lost." Amy Tan, WHERE THE PAST BEGINS #SundaySentence

Combat medics were the best of us. Trying to save the wounded while under fire with little regard for their own safety.

Be the peace in your days.

"It was the beginning of the end of knowing that life would continue." -Dave Eggers, WHAT IS THE WHAT #SundaySentence

We should all have coffee shops to frequent where they greet us by name and ask how our writing is going.

De-escalation of events in the day begin with your first waking breath.

TFW a coffee shop patron gives you their table because they know it's the table you like to write at.

Another sunrise and all the potential a new day brings. Happy Friday!

"No one who knew anything of the war was talking, and anyone who was talking knew nothing." mattgallagher0. "Notes from Lviv." Esquire, March 31, 2022. #SundaySentence

Some days the world offers more pain than one can bear.

While my husband waits for bombs to fall on his hometown Odessa in #Ukraine, I wait to find out if my #breastcancer has spread. I haven’t been writing much, but this collab with Ilya Kaminsky was an intimacy I’ll always treasure. Thanks to Oprah Daily oprahdaily.com/entertainment/…

I'm always surprised to discover not everyone is preoccupied with thoughts of war and the suffering of the innocent.

I'm so tired of humans' brutality towards each other on small and large scales. We are a failed species. Push the button. Start over with the hope of a future kinder race.

With everything people are dealing with in their lives these days anything I might say on Twitter seems inconsequential or impossible to frame in a tone that isn't too joyful or too dark.

I'm sorry to have largely disappeared from Twitter without explanation. I'm not feeling well. Issues with chronic pain and battle anniversaries have been giving me trouble. I'll be more active here when I feel better. Thanks for thinking of me. Take care.

I'm still alive. Still cheering for all of you even though unseen. Life is good. Spending time with kids and grandkids. Squeezing in some writing. Planning move from MN to MS Gulf Coast where I find peace beside ocean. Cleaning out apt. Getting set to travel. Best wishes to all.
