After the Fire, the Ruins Still Warm by Tania Winther
The truth is I was not mourning just you.
I was mourning the version of myself that still trusted fire....

I lost my job today. Unforeseen Mass Layoff season. And yet--- My soul is snuggled in a blanket. I am calm. I have options. I've faced worse odds with zero prospects and come out all the better for it. I have more cards in my hand, an extra deck up my sleeve, and more savvy than anxiety can rule. I am capable. I am Darby.
A nonchalant shrug and a smile. A steady, determined eccentric who can evenly swirl balance and that ever present tiny thrum of madness. A quiet cacophony of ideas, comfortable in the corner and somehow drawn to its center. Principle-ruled, where rules are made to be bent and rent and tied in knots; with respect, of course, and a cocked eyebrow to the rule maker.
I am not mystical. I am not the living embodiment of a Greek goddess, beautiful and deadly and majestic beyond reproach. I am Darby. A quirky quark of light, playfully bouncing here and there, flitting in and out of interesting spaces yet gently elucidate each corner, past the fearful shadows. In the background, but hard to miss.
Yes. Colorful upon dissection and wholly bright. Clumsily colliding with discarded curiosities, never satisfied to sit still. Wings and roots, as Heidi Priebe would say. Walking with the rhythm of the earth while humming a cosmos melody. Sincerely, Darby
A moment of self-discovery after a wild, unforeseen day.

White text overlaid on a blurred background of leaves and light says, "The books branch of Humans & Nature Press is accepting submissions of single-author book manuscript proposals from June 1st through August 3rd, 2026. www.humansandnature.org/book-manuscript-proposals" There is also a logo on the upper left-hand side of the image that says "Humans & Nature Press," and it is paired with an illustration reminiscent of a braided knot or a thumbprint.
✍️ The books branch of Humans & Nature Press is again opening a call for proposals for single-author book manuscripts.

Cover of the author's novel, Wrestling Alligators, with the graphic of an alligator arching up to eat the "S" in the title, which is a dollar sign. The text of the beginning of Chapter 40 is in white
What if miracles were real?
What if the family stories were lies?
What if my mother…
Some "what ifs" are too painful to finish.
What's yours?

Thrilled that my #creativenonfiction piece “Everything I know about love I learned from #StephenSondheim” was published in #EmergeLiteraryJournal. It’s got sad moms, giants in the sky, marriage ambivalence and, yes, #Cher. Thx@dianegotauthor.bsky.social emergeliteraryjournal.com/everything-i...
