There is ecstasy in paying attention. Anyone who wants to can be surprised by the beauty or pain of the natural world, of the human mind and heart, and can try to capture just that - the details, the nuance, what is. (annie lamott)

10 Months Later

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 months since I have written.

A lot has happened since then. I met a man who embodied passions and characteristics that surpassed my loftiest hopes for someone to share life with. I watched my indignant self-sufficiency crumble as this man’s life, words, actions, spirit and heart began to speak into mine. The soul delights when it hears what it already knows, and my soul was interacting with something already known, and I fell in love. I haven’t felt the urgency or passion to blog my thoughts, experiences, dreams and observations about the world, because there was only one person with whom I wanted to really share them with.



James and I married on December 30th and my personal life is fuller than I could have ever imagined. Love is beautiful, risky, adventurous and home.
