Sometimes, it's a good thing to be too busy to have much free time. Sometimes, when you're working on far too many projects, it can be good-- because it forces you to focus; forces you not only to find a way to finish things and to be creative about it, but also to have sudden… Continue reading b u s y .

Autumn can be a time of restlessness, too. Things change, transform. Some things die. The threat of dormancy looms. The urge for hibernation, for hiding, can come on strong and unexpected.

lost my dreams upon waking

a view from our rooftop This photo is from a few years ago, but the view is much the same now as then. The water looks so far away. This is looking out towards Jersey (who knew New Jersey could look so beautiful?). I found this while going through a bunch of those little plastic… Continue reading lost my dreams upon waking
