3 quick things.
a short note + a short break
We’ll keep this rather short. I’m taking a short break for two weeks to prioritize time with my family. I’ll leave you with three things:
Now’s a great time to catch up on essays that you might have missed. Here are some letters of note:
From a balance beam. (on types of rest, resistance, and restoration)
Wild vulnerability is the center. (wilderness, connection, and enough - reflections on my NOLS horsepacking trip)
Love what you love. (on my long companionship with the music of Conor Oberst, the frontman of Bright Eyes)
Home is here. (an ode to the places and homes where all the wandering led)
In pursuit of “why not?” (naming ways asking a single question has shaped my life)
Dear Prudence. (a love letter about the love of an aging dog)
What I have to live with. (the reluctant gifts of chronic injury)
Art as resistance. (engaging art as a language and a weapon)
A new offering. (a vision for sabbatical and “fundraising” support)
If that ain’t love: a poem. (Easter traditions and questions)
Would you please share on your social media an essay or two that you really enjoyed? This helps me grow this newsletter and get it in front of the right readers and subscribers.
Would you answer this quick survey about Wandering Home?
Thanks for being here and supporting my work, friends. I’ll be back shortly with a few more letters before I go on my sabbatical in mid-September and take at least a month off from publishing here. (Don’t worry, you’ll hear all about my trips and time off when I return.)
Until then, look forward to a couple more long form essays, a very special 10 year anniversary celebration, an art flash sale on Etsy, and more notes on sabbatical and rest.
See you soon,
