Mysteries

I believe the world is full of mysteries, and not just way out there in the great big beyond. This belief is central to how I see and move through the world(s), and as you might have guessed, of course it influences my story-telling. So here’s a collection of prayers, stories, poems–bits and pieces of my interactions with the palpable unseen.

RECENT WRITINGS

Messy Refusals

Come up for air, cut yourself down, find yourself back with your feet on the ground.

Marrow to Mirror: Part One

When you’re recounting something stronger than a dream, it helps to have a listening ear.

In All This

Thinking of conversations and complexities; of land and industrialism; of tensions between what is rigidly imposed and what seeks room to grow and bloom on its own terms, in its own time.

Stretching Toward Hope

A(nother) season of firsts, and spring beckons me forward with gentleness and grace.

Dandelions & Discarded Cigarettes

It’s the little things that speak to me, imbued as they are with mystery–like flowers in a parking lot.

Clean Sweep

After the smoke clears, the dust settles, and you find yourself sitting in a pile of rubble–there will be work to do, even if your ears are still ringing.

Loam and Lifted Song

Life isn’t perfect, but we can still choose to see beauty and create moments worth cherishing.
