June through August‚ when I was young‚ entailed family trips around the state. In September‚ when asked about my vacation‚ I would say brightly‚ "I visited Mexico‚ Paris and Lebanon‚" and then in a quieter voice‚ "without ever leaving Missouri."

Because I took leave from my writing responsibilities this

I’ve learned - That you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can beloved. The rest is up to them.
