Prompt #
57 - Chapters
“My
life closed twice,” the great Emily Dickinson says. As if it were
two books, rather than two chapters. “People, places, events?”
the prompt asks. I think the most revealing to me is: 22 years as a
student (birth to university, but not continuous). 22 working for
others. 22 working on my own, freelance, contracts, my own creative
endeavours. The last is the best, probably because it is best suited
to my needs, skills (or lack of), and talents. Although I do realize
that in all the years I was working in education, social services,
corrections, I was collecting stories. My interest in humanity has
never dwindled.
