Now
A snapshot, not a statement. This changes when I do — sometimes weekly, sometimes not for a season.

- This place. Building a home for poems that have been living in my iPhone Notes for years.
- Sorting through the archive — some of it holds up, some of it was clearly a bad week.
Writing about
- Softness and discernment, and the fact that they're not opposites.
- Love, boundaries, and telling the difference between peaceful and boring.
- Becoming — slowly, unglamorously, mostly in the car.
Noticing
- Sunlight, water, trees. I keep going outside like it's a prescription.
- How much ordinary beauty I miss when I'm moving fast.
Learning
- Not to brace when things are calm. Peace isn't a setup.
- That I don't have to inspect a good thing to make sure it's real.
This season
- Late summer. Golden earlier every evening. Somewhere between the work I do and the work I'm made of.
- Wanting more travel, more real food, more of the things worth rearranging a schedule for.
