      <image:title>Essays - It’s Logistics</image:title>
      <image:caption>The diagnosis came while we were living between coasts. Our daughter and her family are in Los Angeles. My husband is a university professor. During the school year, New York calibrates him — his identity, his love of learning, his writing, his students.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Essays - The Event Is the Doorway</image:title>
      <image:caption>The event is the doorway, not the house. I heard that once and it startled me. Not because it was clever — but because it felt uncomfortably accurate. There are so many doorways in a life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Essays - Rearranging the Current</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today I decided to embrace my anxiety. Not conquer it. Not silence it. Rearrange it.
