January 7, 2026Continually trying to find simpler and more honest ways to share this work and life. 

Right now I don’t want to share, don’t want to communicate, only want to hibernate and hide. But we must all do what we can right now, no matter how seemingly meaningless, to help keep each other and this world afloat. So, I will try to hold up some of the small things I believe make life beautiful and worth fighting for.

my son and I have been building a lot of “animal forts” in the forest this week. our cat Sully follows along and inspects each one. he liked this one and spent a long time in it, just resting in the leaves with the sunshine coming through.
