I’m interested in writing within the tensions of our humanity with the both and: our joy and our grief, beauty and brokenness, courage and fear, celebration and rage, and everything in between.
My hope is that my writing has the ability to connect to what lies at the core of being human. Whether I am writing poetry, a newsletter, or an essay, my writing aims to be honest, attentive, and centered around connection. May these words housed here meet you and encourage you.
Relapsed
Into
A reality
Not yet known
And
Not yet seen
Fatigued with familiarity
Rendered
Into
Dependency
Upon
Community
And the
Daily bread
Set out before me
Led to
A deep
Awareness
Of my limits
And
Need
Released expectations
Upon
My body
And
My mind
A shaking with grief
And
A dancing with faith
Led to
The hearing of
Healing laughter
Surrounding me
The humbling
Gift of
Community carrying
The hope of
What awaits
Beyond me
Sustaining me
…
Relapsed
Into
A reality
Not yet fully known
And
Not yet fully seen
Grace upon grace
Meeting me
In my need
