Writing
Stories, observations, questions, and things I’m still figuring out.
I write to understand things – myself, other people, the strange business of being human, and whatever has caught my attention lately.
Here, I track my questions. I follow strange threads. I write without needing to wrap everything in a bow.
Let Me Be Like Water
How a song stuck on repeat, an inconvenient illness and several increasingly unsubtle encounters with water eventually got their point across.
What If Joy Got a Vote?
A small argument for giving joy a vote – with reasonable safeguards against shady raccoons, extravagant yurts, and questionable life decisions.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bracelets
How four women, a tiny car and a bracelet shop on a cobblestoned street in France became a sisterhood I never forgot.
Lísa with an í
How one tiny mark, a match and a little private mythology turned Lisa into Lísa.
The Inner Witness
How a blanket fort, two dots and a little cosmic side-eye became the symbol that wouldn't quite leave me alone.
