SUMMONING THE GENIE

I wrote this blog a few months ago, but forgot to share. I was polishing an old, brass doorstop -- a nutcracker, actually -- shaped like a dog. It belonged to my mother's father, who I never met. The more I polished (and wiped away layers of patina), the more I remembered my early life. I marveled how a simple object such as this -- and a mundane task -- was a treasure of story Read more of this blog post »
