Unmarked Hours

A phone vibrates at another table, and a hand reaches for one that didn’t. The same sequence — reach, check, put it down — can happen whether or not anything is waiting. The immediate demand may be gone while the readiness to answer remains. A person can be comfortable and still be ready to respond. This episode looks closely at what happens when responsibility has finished but our responses have...

The episode examines the difference...

Back home after the holiday, a smaller bowl of ice cream sits on the kitchen counter. The serving has changed, but attention keeps returning to the container in the freezer. The portion has returned to routine; the wanting has not. Ice cream now carries taste, enoughness, long meals, old friends, and evenings that continued after the pizza boxes were empty. "Still Eating Like August" examines the...

A message arrives while the summer light still reaches across the room. A few minutes ago, you were ready to stop. After a shower, cold water, and the movement of getting ready, energy gathers.

"The Sun Is Still Up" examines the difference between having enough...

July arrives with open windows, full tables, and plans that continue into the evening. On some days, the body has less energy. The explanation that follows can become personal.
