Turns out the copy shop gave me double copies so I have lots of non-news-letters to share. There might be a little sand between the folds. #snailmail #penpals

← A couple handfuls of sunsets before returning to Philly. This summer I intended to pause at sunset reach evening and drag everyone out to bear witness and share a poem with me. I have managed to see almost every sunset but it usually looks more like it did tonight- hand over pancake flipping duties long enough to run outside, do a cartwheel in the field, smile, snap a picture and return. There will be other seasons but I'm grateful for the fullness of now and this old school house on a hill. #upnorth This spot holds such vivid memories of my Grandpa's last trip to his hometown. In my mind I can almost squint to see him sitting here one last time with my Grandma, Jack and Amelia. They were 5 and 7. A year later, my Grandma passed away and he was on hospice. What I remember is all the reasons why I wanted to say no to that trip but I'm forever grateful that I said yes- to the relationships, the moves, the years, the journey. It still hurts, the way I opened my heart, the way I asked my little family to open their hearts, knowing it would mean so many goodbyes. And here we are, still remembering. →
