Crumb – Real crumbs falling from a real table…
I’m not really that smart, but I’m smart enough to know this isn’t the time to talk about how we frame our experiences and how what we expect to be true often becomes true.
Crumb – Accident Memories
I came across a little gem/not-gem today sorting a stack of files about my accident. It’s my wife’s pocket notebook from when I first went to the hospital. On 5/31, amid other observations about my living and dying and the tubes pumping in and out of my body, she...
