In a new job, in a new chapter, and feeling the need to write again. It's not a new feeling; wanting to write feels inherently like wanting to share. Wanting to share feels inherently like wanting to connect. And so here I am. It's not just the new job, the new phase of life that… Continue reading Back again

Yesterday’s Poem: *untitled still*
This poem was inspired by the poem 'Lost in the MilkyWay' by Linda Hogan Scars shine white, Against my pinkish skin. Like stars stand out, In the blue-black sky. Both reflecting the past We'll never see again. A story we will never, Wholly know. There, and there still until they are gone. Gone Nova, gone… Continue reading Yesterday’s Poem: *untitled still*
Networking

Seattle, Jan 1-3 2022, Day 1
