    In My Own Words

    On borrowing someone else's craft long enough to finally say your own thing with it. This week's thought: what you're taught was never meant to make you sound like your teacher — it was meant to help you say your own thing.

    How You're Met

    On the moment right after you've embarrassed yourself, and how much depends on what happens next. This week's thought: how you're met in your worst moment often matters more than the moment itself.

    They Just Knew

    On the truths about ourselves we never quite announce — and what happens when the people around us understand anyway. This week's thought: some things don't need declaring. They just need living.

    Not Quite Either

    On trying to be in two places at once — and the walks with Lola where I thought I was doing both. This week's thought: presence doesn't split. You can only really give it to one thing at a time. That's just what it is to be one person.

    Nothing Much, Really

    On the stories we tell ourselves about rest — and the fundraiser it once took before a simple walk felt allowed. This week's thought: you don't need a reason to rest. If you're tired, that's reason enough.
