Single Blessedness

August 26th, 2018 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Women 3 Comments

Maruja Mallo - Sorpresa del Trigo

My self is precious, and it needs and deserves nourishing as the center of my life, not an outcropping.

Every Three Seconds

Every Three Seconds

I don’t know if any woman is allowed to have two best friends—there may be a rule prohibiting it written in the stars—but I will boldly claim my two.

Egg Day

March 29th, 2016 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Religion 3 Comments

Egg Day

This past Lent I thought I made an agreement with myself to enter into all the ceremonies of that six-weeks season of suffering… and then to reward myself with the glorious resurrection of Easter.

Lunch with Teri / Dinner with Alice / Weekends with Sarah

January 28th, 2016 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Women 2 Comments

Sarah and I

These are the women I know I can call on in times of need…who will understand what I want, oversee my progress toward some form of wisdom with courage, humor and compassion—and, above all, tell me the truth.

Thanksgiving for Friends

November 24th, 2015 by  Sallie Bingham   in  New Mexico 12 Comments

All of us who live alone although close to family and at times sharing seasonal celebrations know that we have a core of friends who are not just an alternative to relatives. They may know us better and even love us more!

Kafka and The Littlest Rebel

January 29th, 2015 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Writing 2 Comments

The Littlest Rebel - Shirley Temple

Pantaloons and golden curls do not limit her temerity. It fascinates me to see that this long-forgotten children’s book seems in a strange way more modern than The Trial.

Best Friends

January 25th, 2015 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Women 1 Comment

Best Friends - Sallie Binghham

What do we offer each other? Shared habits, shared likes and dislikes, an astonishing ability to chose the best possible presents for each other; and the frankness that never seems barbed by ulterior motives—to instruct, to reprove, to create distance. Frankness that is a bridge to closeness rather than a bulwark against it.

Getting Through The Season

December 26th, 2013 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Women 2 Comments

Now that Christmas has fallen half way out of the day-I imagine it on its edge, sliding off all those cards that wish, so blandly, “Season’s Greetings” (and what are they?-I am coming to terms with the usefulness of Facebook.

High School Reunion

May 23rd, 2011 by  Sallie Bingham   in  Kentucky 2 Comments

High School Reunion

SO HERE WE ARE after all these years—more than fifty—gathered together for the second time since we graduated from the private all-girls school in Louisville, Kentucky—before the Civil Rights Movement, before the Women’s Movement, before Vietnam and all the wars that have followed it.
