“Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
~Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor, 1977

Sorry, all, for this second long lapse of quiet. A couple of unexpected family illnesses have, once again, thrown off my blogging – and life – schedule.

As the Dutch say, sickness comes on horseback, but departs on foot.

Back to it, I hope.
