Post Covid Nose –
Our sense of smell is a social and emotional part of living. It is aligned with our sense of taste, and food is more than something we eat to live. Food and its enticing aromas gather us together. If we are given flowers, we bury our face in them, inhaling sweetness. We smell our babies’… Continue reading

I couldn’t sleep last night. I tossed. I turned. I turned. I tossed. My synapses fired off -one two three fifty-five-thousand-and-four.
