The Other Side of Close

The other side of Close is Apart, the place where we go to dissect things, to be alone, to think, to ponder, to protect. It is a place where we are solitary, where we are trying to source how to be near. Nearer, perhaps, to ourselves, in our own right, in our own clothes. Apart […]

Rice Pudding

This morning I am in the Honda Lounge waiting for my car to be serviced.  These moments, the ones where I settle in, undisturbed, and wait for my car to be repaired always seem to fill me with appreciation. Today, I am appreciating myself.  I brought rice pudding with me for a snack. I made […]
