I sit at the table, shelling elderberries from their spiny hands and eyeing them where they lie in their trays for dehydration; many thousands of dark promises.

I wanted to talk to you about the changeover, which is not just seasonal but marks a turning chapter. Wanted to look back – and so forwards.
We’ve finally heard from the hospital.
