An Argument With a Ghost
Like most of us, I have a few relationships that seem to be more difficult than they need to be. One is with a brother who hasn’t spoken to me for twenty-six years. Over the years, I’ve made several attempts to get things to a better place between us, but I never heard back from him. It’s even strange to say we have a relationship. At this point, the only active relationship I have with him exists as a thought in the form of a memory, which is to say, a thought carried through time. The same is true for him. The only active relationship he has with me is based entirely in thought and memory.
