you left, I wilted
I kept the pebble we dreamed
was a seed, change rose.

Maybe someday
Dearest Jane, Where to begin? My heart is in shambles, Jane. Ever since you left, I am incredibly morose and tired, and I feel like my heart is hurting and trembling. It is trembling tremendously, pushing into my mouth, making me feel it’s solid beat, rekindling my deep feelings for you. A reminder that you may not return, but I cannot allow myself to believe it.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
