my dear, you've captured the essence of the writer's desire to live fully present, and the tension to share that inevitably bursts into the world as words. i'm so glad you are back at the writing and sharing, because i have deeply missed your insights. and i should say how thankful i am for the pictures of a certain long-anticipated girl :)

slow and silent

recently my pace has been slower. my days have been holding many open moments and often opportunities for silence surface without me having to scrape and scramble to find them. that is a huge change from my bulging to do list of recent years, where every hour seemed to belong... Continue reading

memories are chopped up fragments mixed with imagination and sentiment. * * * * * i spent the whole morning at the table, macbook in view, with frequent tea refills and fruit munching at intervals. i had finally, after two years of the idea lurking in my mental "to be... Continue reading

oh nicholas! he cracks me up. i can't quite make out what the tire is that he's standing in--part of a playground perhaps? i love that he's passionate about photography and is exercising his talent of seeing the world with the potential for art everywhere.
