I know divorces can be hard on people. I know there can be much hurt and bitterness and regret. Mark and I didn’t plan this recovered friendship, didn’t try hard, didn’t do it for our kids. We just trusted the hard truth, did deep work, let go and moved on. Toward the end of the marriage, 10 years ago, Mark spoke to a seer in the desert at burning man and said, “I’m thinking of ending my marriage,” and the man said, “don’t do that, she’s your rudder and you’re her light.” And it took another year for us until I was ready to become my own light, and Mark to find his own rudder. .

Actually, Mark just corrected me. The seer said it’s okay get divorced, but don’t leave each other, stay connected because she’s your rudder and you’re her light. We still had to change the shape of the marriage, had to let it go to become who we are - together and alone. photo@marklewiswagner

You know, I really don’t mind people who look straight into the camera for me. Leonard Cohen says, “you look good tired. We just want to see the natural man, the natural woman.” So for me, it’s a relief to see someone who doesn’t have to put on a happy face, and can just show me who they are in that moment, before 8am, sitting in front of a wood burning stove, a cup of coffee, a little tired, relaxed, just being themselves. .

“You a cowboy?” And he said, “you want to know what kind of cowboy I am? I rode my horse from Michigan to Santa Fe, in the winter.”
