"What does it mean to be worth something? Or worth enough? Or worthless?
What does it mean to earn a living? What does it mean to be hired? What
does it mean to be let go?
It’s May now. More than thirty million Americans have lost their jobs.
What mattered in February hardly seems to matter now. My sons, my
husband, and I are lucky. We have stayed healthy, and we have enough
money and enough food to eat. In between teaching my sons the difference
between a scalene triangle and an isosceles, and moving my writing
workshops from my garage to pixelated classrooms, and cleaning my house,
and going nowhere, and being scared, and looking for bread flour and
yeast, I can barely remember what it felt like to plead my case for
three straight days. It feels good to barely remember."
Via Muse, who wrote "Beautiful piece of writing. This feels like my life."
