I live in a constellation of intimates, and the shape of us is a family. We touch base and check in, with each other and also– I am so gratified to report–they sometimes check in with one another. Correspondences have sprung up and friendships have started to form beyond my influence. Family has begun to take on a transitive property as well. S. Bear Bergman
