Bio
I love to write, though I almost never do it
I love to read, but that generally happens only as a night time story for my son
I climb and cook and get out in the wilds
I take my cues from the seasons

Visions
Sarah Rose Petersen 1/18/21 It was she who had taught me to visualize, all those years ago. Back when I would spend days, weeks even, propped up in bed or upright in a chair, grasping for each breath. The affliction of severe lung disease is a desperate one. It is a brutal and forced form of meditation. There is no option but to focus on the breath. The here. The now. Each breath is carefully orchestrated by muscles whose job it is to do things other than aid inhale or exhalation. The shoulders, the upper back, the neck. During these agonizingly long days of attack, she taught me to visualize.
