Day 92: Connect
Today has felt pretty ungrounded. It’s probably not a coincidence that today is also a day in which I chose to steal a little extra sleep in the morning instead of making time for some quiet sitting. And no time … Continue reading

Day 51: Mend
For the past 50 days, I have managed to blog every day, and to get something posted before the stroke of midnight. That is, until last night. Here’s what happened. I had packed up all the books that I was … Continue reading
