This mound of wheat stalks has been taking up space in my old study for almost a year. There's a story behind the delay, I guess. I harvested our first crop of wheat when Mieko was struggling with the first signs of ALS. I threshed and cleaned it by hand, working obsessively. This crop was planted after she died, and I think I've put off processing it to keep memory of that time under wraps.

But it needs to be done, and I'm ready for the work now. Small steps.
