  • When September Ends

    When September Ends

    I used to work in college admissions, where summer was our busiest time of year and we waited until the new students had gotten in and settled before we could take our vacation.

    Finding Stillness in the Bla Bla

When people talk about loneliness, they’re expressing a concern around social connection, which is a basic human need. But I […]

    This Limping and Mutilated Story

    “I keep on going with this limping and mutilated story because I want you to hear it, as I will hear yours too if I ever get the chance, if I meet you …. By telling you anything at all, I’m believing in you. I believe you into being. Because I’m telling you this story, […]
