There is someone I write to named Teitrae. I don't know her in the way you'd know a friend down the street - we've never stood in the same room. She is somewhere in Memphis, working inside something she calls circle work: a group of people turning deliberately toward hard things instead of away from them. I am elsewhere, in Chicago, reaching toward her across that distance with words, trying to understand what she's holding and whether I'm holding something like it.
