Mooring at the Millrace by Susan Rau Stocker

Mooring at the Millrace tells stories, from Uncle Charlie’s falls from grace into both a tea party and an outhouse — at different times — to stories of loves, betrayals, twists and turns, tragedies and triumphs which are totally undeserved, excruciatingly painful, and sometimes, sweeter than imaginable. People teach us how to live and how to die, both with misery and mercy, if we watch and listen, keeping our minds and hearts open and our mooring steady.It was a simpler time. Happiness was sitting on the front porch. A disaster was running out of milk before the milkman was due. Excitement was a snowstorm and the sledding we’d do when it got dark.Let me take you back there with me. I’ll share with you where I started and where the journey took me. Maybe along the way you’ll remember more of where you started and join me in gratitude for the grace to be here now. “If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go,” said James Baldwin. And Barbra Streisand sang, “I can dream of the old days. Let the memory live again.”
