Tania Schweig is an educator and school leader in the SF Bay Area, where she raised five magnificent souls. In 2020 she became a bereaved mother, an experience that sent her searching for ways to say things that needed to be said. Her writing is mostly found in notebooks, sometimes on scraps of paper left on a pillow for someone she loves. “Anecdote of a Jar” was written collaboratively over a recent forty day period a whole continent apart.
