Omitting so much of the last few days here in Gulfport: I will begin with the present. This morning my mother and I were having a hurried cup of coffee before leaving for my dental appointment. The blanket of isolation and security that I sought to draw about me by coming home for a visit had enveloped my existence totally. Home has become an oasis I can believe in. Can I tell of the security I have known in the trailer house in the country? Can I tell about the security of the radiance of my mother and dad sitting around the kitchen table talking at night– crickets echoing in the background? The balming envelopment has been complete.
