    A Series on Communication After a somewhat difficult morning with our six month old baby who disagreed with us about the level of daylight that should accumulate before starting our day, my husband and I had a rough conversation or two before he left for work at my dad’s business, where he is a senior engineer.  […]

  • 8.24.2021 Waiting

    Some of us who wait, bellies full of dawn, some leaf through the research, dig through the lore, the impressions of the past, the promises of the future… I do none of these things. I don’t know why not. I wait only. I sit with dawn swelling my belly, so large I cannot fold in […]

She went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord […]

  • Monument Valley, Navajo Nation

    If you survive the journey, the hands of a desert god wave to greet you. First you must trust that there will be water, for you are not of the desert. You are a guest, a stranger: you drink water without knowing where it comes from. Your ancestors wallowed in water. The hands of their […]

  • Celebrities, Social Media, and (not) the Moon

    I started thinking about this today while I was discussing ancient myths with my seventh grade students. When you hear a mythical story, are you knowing the celebrities of yore? Totally.

  • Nature: So much more than an amusement park

    Two mornings ago, I was standing atop Long’s Peak with, oh, thirty other people. Long’s is a Colorado monarch, the northernmost fourteener of over fifty in my home state. It’s a darn tough, technical, mountain climb, and obsessively crowded.  Most of the folks on the summit were like me, in their twenties or thirties, many […]
