You always have the best timing! I have been thinking about magical thinking ever since I read Joan Didion’s book and of late, I am so aware of using this to mentally survive. Your beautiful piece helped me see more deeply.

Thank you, Sharon. Didion often came to mind while writing this piece, even if I must confess I have not yet read The Year of Magical Thinking (though I think now may be the time for it!)
