Before Sailing out the Channel

Jul 7, 2024 | 0 comments

Before sailing out the channel,
an army of sweat bees
emerges from the forest
as if telling me
it’s time to leave.
Picture
​Thank you to Mother, who agreed to move into respite care while Rubin and I sail out the channel and head north. (Respite care is designed to provide short-term relief for primary caregivers.) Thanks to siblings who are driving the long miles to be with Mother while we are gone; to caregivers who are doing their best to keep Mother safe until we return; to you who encouraged me to care, also, for me; and for any favorable winds, smooth seas, and sun-touched skies that accompany us on this journey.

P.S. As access to internet can be difficult on the water, postings this summer will be erratic. Rubin says, “hang in there!”
