This is a place for me to write things down while I’m still thinking them through.
I don’t always know what I think about the world as it is right now, and I’ve found that the only way I can get closer to the truth is by slowing down and paying attention—especially to the parts that don’t fit neatly together.
A lot of what I write here is an attempt to hold more than one thing at a time: hope and concern, love and frustration, belief and doubt, clarity and confusion. Not because everything is relative, but because most of the important things in life seem to be more complicated than we’d like them to be.
- Some of this writing is for me.
- Some of it is for the people I love.
- Some of it is for my kids, whether they read it soon or much later.
I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything here. I’m mostly trying to be honest about what it feels like to live in this moment, to notice what’s forming in me, and to leave a small record of how I tried to make sense of things.
This site isn’t finished, and neither are the ideas in it. That feels appropriate.
