Some Sedona shots – After a local barista gave us the advice that it was okay to still go out hiking, a best pal and I ventured into the fog and rain of Sedona for an early morning hike today. I shoved my camera deep into my jacket, knowing the cold would zap the battery if I wasn’t careful. […]
places with patterns – Again and again, I’m reminded when nomading of how much the situation and place we are impacts us. It’s a lesson I love to re-learn and re-remember because being in back to back new situations gives me a chance to shake loose ideas of myself and patterns I’ve accrued in staying put. It also gives […]
Drafts of some recent block art – I still run for fun the Museum of Block Art (MOBA) and, as part of sharing more of the behind the scenes of how the art is made, I wanted to show some of my drafts of my recent “Circling back” piece. It’s called Circling back because it’s a photo of my partner, available in […]
Returning – Without question, I can say that at the end of this year I feel more like myself. It felt like a year of returning, to places and to ways of being, after 2024 was so brutal. I wanted to renew in 2025 and I feel that I truly did. As with the last two years, […]
mulling – I’m in Winter Park, Florida for the holidays which means I’m spending an inordinate amount of time peeling back emotional and physical layers of my past self. I found Latin textbooks filled with my terrible handwriting trying to make sense of the ancient language that I worked so hard to become good at. I hold […]
new light – I’ve been repeating to myself the following one liner over the last few weeks: May you love someone long enough to see them in a new light. It’s been profoundly grounding and, in some ways, aspirational as I think about certain relationships in my life. What an absolute gift it is to really know someone […]
Chronic Comrades Volume 2 – It’s been over a year since I wrote the first entry about chronic comrades, a group of loves ones I brought together to talk about chronic conditions. We’ve continued in the last year but my notes on what we’ve discussed have not. In many ways, it’s hard to know exactly what to share when so […]
with me – I can’t remember exactly when I got my last pair of cleats but I know they were the ones I wore in college, when I switched from soccer to rugby. My best guess is that I went into college with them as growing up I found it exceedingly hard to find a well fitting cleat […]
zoom out, zoom in – As many places and as many times as I’ve nomaded around, I can’t seem to shake the anxiety I get when figuring out the logistics of getting from point A to point B. Finding out I was arriving for a 10 day work trip with back to back meetups during the NYC marathon, again, had […]no match – We were about to leave for the night, somehow worn out more than the 92 year old and 93 year old before us. My partner’s grandparents remain so full of life. Introversion is no match for extroversion no matter the age though. The 93 year old was in his chair, half listening to the TV […]
