smokingbootHow could I ever evoke this year?
It's been terrible and harrowing, humbling and yet full of power. It's been a year of love and friendship that made me cry. It has been sublime in its beauty, from ruby red sunrises over a Scottish car park, to teal seas at the edge of the world. How ridiculous to claim some coming of age at 62, but that's what it feels like, changing class, maybe even going to a new school. Mine is not a What Katy Did story; I am still the unreconstructed brat who flees Coolidge's admonitions to be good. Still, something has changed and it's important.
Thank you, 2024, special year, year of the dragon they say, year of the teacher to me.
I will never forget, and at the risk of getting a bit Whitney, I will always love you.
