| Slowing down, in Berlin |
I have both dreaded and anticipated this day for several weeks. By “this day”, I don’t mean Sunday the 11th – my birthday. I mean Friday the 9th, when I have finally begun writing this post. Except for journal entries and reams of business writing, I have not written much else since April.
Writing again after a long pause always feels daunting. But I’m here now and I’m doing it. One word after the next.
