Spinning a Yarn
For over a year we’ve been trapped in a touchless world. And for those of us who are single and live alone, even physical proximity to other humans vanished in this pandemic. Even in communion through video calls we were reduced to technological approximations of ourselves, images and audio. Like paper dolls back lit with blue light, we dwell in posts and pictures, online content, our two dimensional facsimiles of real life.

A Body of Yarn
Teaching is an embodied profession. I bound in front of the white board to add a new idea from a student during a class brainstorm session. You can find me coughing through axe body spray or mango hand lotion as I lean over to ask a leading question of a collaborating small group. I circle students at desks in the back of the room, one hand holding the short story in front of my face, the other gesturing as my posture and vocal intonations shift back and forth between Bilbo and Gollum exchanging riddles in the dark.
