My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
Choosing opposite things at varying times can make perfect sense, since in the interim we have become different people with differing needs and awareness that asks new questions, or old ones in a different way, from a whole new perspective.
