I prefer to explore the most intimate moments, the smaller, crystallized details we all hinge our lives on.

The word that has come up a good deal in the last two days is hinge. Whether I go back to work in two weeks hinges on lab results. Health insurance availability in a few years may hinge on a election outcomes. By definition it is that on which anything turns or depends....That seems to be the theme of life lately.
In light of thinking of hinges, I'll share a short poem by Shel Silverstein:
Hinges
There wouldn’t be no sin,
Cause we could take the bad stuff out,
And leave the good stuff in.
Amber Digby, "Hinges on the Door":
