I'm passionate about being alive--about living in Technicolor and creating new experiences. There's something about the privilege of being human that has me talking to strangers and listening to people's stories. I want to embrace this journey, with its complicated emotions, hard truths, and amazing opportunities. I want to know people better and recognize old friends.*
Writing and photography overwhelm my life and there's a good dose of music providing the soundtrack. I have a deep reverence for good typeface and I love highlighting sentences in paperback books. I laugh often, listen seriously and appreciate silent spaces for creativity.
And as for the thoughts passing through my head... I hope there is Something bigger than me, loving and watching all the pain, hoping one day to save us all from it. But if there is not, and this is it, and what I hope to be True can never be so, then I want to feel and experience as much as possible, and help others lives be a tiny bit better--even if it's just for a minute, just for a beautiful second, just for a simple smile in the grayness of this huge and complicated world.

*I suck at replying to comments. I just do. I always have. Email me and might reply, text me and I will blow up your phone. Call me and leave a voicemail? Well, good luck. It's only fair for you to know these things before we enter into a committed blogging relationship.
