A moment we will play endlessly in our minds on lonely nights and empty days So we explain it to ourselves, justify it enough to sleep.

The second framework is that when people choose to act, they inevitably act where they are.

In fiction, I exercise my nosiness. I am as curious as my cats, and indeed that has led to trouble often enough and used up several of my nine lives. I am an avid listener. I am fascinated by other people's lives, the choices they make and how that works out through time, what they have done and left undone, what they tell me and what they keep secret and silent, what they lie about and what they confess, what they are proud of and what shames them, what they hope for and what they fear. The source of my fiction is the desire to understand people and their choices through time.

I'm working on forgiving myself for some not-so-hot choices I've made in my life. I neglected two people I loved dearly. They are both dead now and I obviously can do nothing to repair or change that, and I grieve every day for those choices.

Having made that choice, I find the grief in my heart finally abating. Now I teach the need to forgive yourself and others relentlessly.
