The Kids Are Outside
It feels special to have had a childhood full of dirt. Two days ago when our area lost power during a storm of wind and rain, something strange happened. The rain stopped, the lights stayed off, and the kids… the kids went outside. There were bikes with kids riding them… kids walking down the street […]
Break in Pavement
August 7, 2011
A few weeks ago, amidst job hunting in the suburbs and fulfilling maid of honor duties for the best bride around, I was in need of a lot of green. Trees, open fields, crops, grass – that kind of green. You might think that I would be content with my tree-lined block and lush backyard, […]
Sevenling (Humming of the Blades)
June 1, 2011

I hadn’t been caught in a good thunderstorm in a long time and if you had asked me, I didn’t particularly want to be. But for some reason when I left work today, I welcomed the downpour. Seeing as I had a five minute walk in squeaky flip flops to the train, this attitude came […]
From the Bluegrass
May 8, 2010
Hello all, My two day silence has been for good reason. Wednesday night I took a late flight into Kentucky, the place I call home. Since then I’ve been spending time with Mom, taking in the fresh air, and of course talking Dead with Dad. What better way to continue my journey to rediscovering the […]
