Little worlds outside the world. That’s what we have made. Here in whispers, and laughs, and secrets under cool white sheets. Here under a tree, whose branches are weighted by fragrant white flowers, and her roots rise out of the ground around us like a living hug. Here around the table where giggles and red […]

It’s a balancing act. Maintaining your peace while fighting fiercely for others’. Holding righteous anger in one hand and universal compassion in the other. Recognizing and standing up to an assault on freedom while understanding that it can never be given or taken away. Creating the world you want while honestly witnessing the world as […]

Watching the military meeting hosted by Trump and Hegseth was difficult. More so even than usual, it felt like forcing myself to pay attention as someone was raking their fingernails across the chalkboard or sliding a table across a squeaky floor.

As for me and my little life, I’m going to keep trying my best. Trying my best to stay open and humble, yet fierce and honest in my truth. Doing my best to be myself. To embrace my perfect concoction of “a little bit of both”. Respectful of the rules that matter and a pain-in-the-ass […]

We don’t conform. We don’t obey. We won’t fall into line. You can’t predict our next move with your digital mind. There are more of us, waking and rising, with each passing day. We’re organic magic. You can’t shake us. We aren’t going away. The human heart – she is wild and fierce, a storm […]
