A Breath Between

I'm on the road again in just a few hours. Up late, as usual, the night before a trip making sure I am ready. My mother used to tease me about this. "Don't you think you can get whatever you forget wherever you go?" she'd say. "You'll be in [Chicago]. They have stores there, don't they?" 

The question was always accompanied by the look. The look that implies head shaking, maybe even eye rolling.

I chuckle at myself as I think of it. I'd be better off with the sleep I'm missing.

Fall-ing in Love is a 40-day writing practice that opens a landscape of discovery into my own human experience.
