Romance: When Desire Is Information, Not Instruction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romance is a strange word.We use it as though it describes one thing, when in fact it can contain desire, attachment, tenderness, projection, companionship, imagination—and sometimes simply the pleasure of being seen.Perhaps one of the privileges of getting older is discovering that these things do not always have to travel together.Desire can be information without becoming instruction.It can tell us that something in us is still awake.That we can still be surprised by another person. That a vo
Go Home, I Like You. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I like men.I should establish that before proceeding.I like their voices, their size, their stories, their ridiculous confidence around machinery they may or may not understand.I like having one across the table.I like someone wandering into the kitchen asking if I need help with a fan I have successfully operated for forty years.I like flowers at the door.I like laughter coming from another room.I even like the occasional goat trolling my freezer.What I don’t particularly like is continuous occ
The Jewels (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People often wonder what they will leave behind.Fortunes.Buildings.Names engraved on brass plaques.I think about what was left with me.People came into my life carrying things I didn’t yet know I needed.A young cadet became a husband who read me bedtime stories about the economy.A stubborn boy became a man his father could finally look in the eye and say,“I love you for becoming my son.”A brilliant scientist taught me that semiconductors could, apparently, qualify as pillow talk.A chairman showe
The Girl on the Skateboard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My first patient in New York City was a young woman on a skateboard in the park.She wore a T-shirt that said:Life is a bitch, then you die.She announced many things before she ever said a word.She was homeless, bright, difficult, funny, and very much alive beneath the armor.I taught her to read Tarot cards.Unconventional?

When I Get There (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We make a peculiar bargain with ourselves.I’ll be happy when I get there.When I’m more confident.When I have enough money.When somebody loves me properly.When I look better, feel better, know more, worry less.There is always a when.And the moment we decide we need something, we become remarkably talented at noticing its absence.Want confidence? Every hesitation becomes important.Want success? One tiny mistake gets promoted to a catastrophe.Want beauty? The mirror suddenly develops a personality.
