Tumbleweed
“My uncle just passed away,” are words I’ve repeated several times this week. Most people react with a concerned look, asking me, “Were you close?” To which I respond, “I don't really know.” These types of conversations have been transporting me back to the last time I saw him in person: The day of my … Continue reading Tumbleweed

Going Gray

Breathe Through
I’ve felt time a little heavier lately—in the fine lines I can’t remember from before; in the tiny popping in my lower back as I twist down to pick up a pen; in that fiercely subtle “boom, boom, boom” in my chest, like a ticking clock, like a threat, wrapped up in blessings, and moments, … Continue reading Breathe Through
Desperation
If I had to choose 1 word to describe the state of things at this point in 2022, it would be “Desperation.” This one significant thing seems to be the common thread stringing us all together despite ourselves. People are desperate for a sense of safety, for acceptance, for an end to the constant turmoil, … Continue reading Desperation
