Less than a few weeks ago I took my last walk with Rueben. We went with my daughter at twilight and followed Rueben to a street we’d never walked down before. It was definitely dusk, and between that and the lack of streetlights the vibe was pretty creepy. Rueben didn’t seem to care, and my daughter was using her apparently limitless imagination to spook me with tales of the ghosts of the people who used to live on this street. By the time we found our way to the creek I was glad to see streetlights again and peered back into the gloom to make sure the spirits and zombie children hadn’t followed us. We took a more familiar route home. I wish I had known that it would be our last walk, I would’ve made it last longer, or stayed home to walk again every day after that until today when cancer caught up with Rueben and took her away from us. Thank you, Ruby, for your unflagging loyalty, for your unconditional love, for your understated wisdom that I had to quiet my ego to hear. I’ll miss you everyday, and I’ll carry your light with my own, now.

New album coming in August/September!
