Finding home in the space between the surface and the deep. The Siren has been an archetype that I've been dancing with for a while. More recently, I've been trying to embody her not as a myth of seduction, but as a master of the depths. She doesn't fear the deep water because she knows… Continue reading Power 1: Power in Depth
Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman. And before anyone rushes to frame this as a shocking escalation, I want to say this plainly: This isn’t new violence.What’s new is the size of the audience. Black and brown communities have been living inside this reality for generations. They didn’t wake up yesterday… Continue reading It isn’t Escalation. It’s Exposure
How many of us spend our lives searching for our One Big Purpose? Probably most of us. We want to matter. We want to belong. We want to know that when we are gone, something of us remains. Someone once told me that people try to ensure this in one of two ways. They have… Continue reading One Big Purpose

Not depletion. More like the feeling after a long hike or a creative stretch that asked something real of me. There’s hope here. And… Continue reading Day 11/12

A reminder that even in the deepest darkness, light does return. Not abruptly, not dramatically, but inevitably. Nature does… Continue reading Day 10/12
And now we are on the ninth day of the 12 Days of Dreaming. Day nine belongs to Odin. Not only the god of war and death, but the god of wisdom, poetry, magic, and relentless seeking. Odin is not comfortable knowledge. He is earned knowledge. He gives up his eye to drink from the… Continue reading Day 9/12
It is the eighth day of the 12 Days of Dreaming. In Norse traditions this day honors Skadi and Ullr, the gods of winter, skill, precision, and survival. Hunting was a vital necessity, providing food for the table, yet life was not solely about survival. The Norse made room for joy, storytelling, games, weaving, and… Continue reading Day 8/12
It is day 7 of the 12 Days of Dreaming. Today arrives with steadiness. This day is traditionally associated with Thor. Not just Thor the god of thunder, but the guardian. The one who stands watch.
