Restraint

The other day I started a new batch of sauerkraut and finally got tired of moving it into the sink every time I pack the rig to go into town. This little shelf restraint solves that problem nicely. The 'kraut can stay put.

Now to add a couple more shelves... someday - maybe - it only took 5 years to add this restraint.

Finding the Words to Fit It

There is an idea current in the prevailing culture that writing about something that pains you heals the pain. I was not, when I began writing my life story, and am not now, healed of my mother. But you do gain a small distance from anything by keeping it in suspension in your mind while you work at finding the words to fit it. The process is so slow and incremental that you don't notice its effect, but the point is that it is a process.
