Hang my hat where she does, except she has a jaunty little red wool hat with a brim that she sometimes sets at flirty angle and I usually don't wear a hat. I have a head of hair to rival any wool hat. Anyway, my center is there, with her. Geographically, right now, she and her red wool hat are in Chicago, bracing chilling winds I imagine. Geographically, right now, I am home by the fire in the land of enchantment. Just to stay centered tonight I watched the mountains turn pink and purple and played outside with the dog a bit. Because that is what she would do if she were here in her red wool hat. The “geographical center” of my world is where I lay my heart.
