Conversation

That moment amidst all the confusion and grief when someone cherished gets in touch unexpectedly. Not a meaningful or pointed silence, just one of those busy things.

I met Michael when we shared an office in Umea. He took me to meet his partner and we had dinner together. Opening the conversation, she turned to me and said "let us hear from each other".

Ever since, I have held this invocation close as a way of living.
