What I've learned

The art of living

The impossibility of balance

Seeing clearly

The everyday, ordinariness of faith

Live in the mess

The insistence of style

Burnt out

Notes on music

Reckoning with ambiguous loss

Realistic optimism vs. blind optimism

The eternal wisdom of RBG

On awe

Say something

Big Spring Energy

Feel free

Doing time

Just exist

On escapism

Fall forward

The end of an era

The discipline of hope

Sitting, processing

Over time, do it better

Making plans, and mistepping

Be a lion, so you can be the lamb you really are

A reminder to pause, if only to keep going

Humility, its quiet power

I want to be like Mike

On self-reliance
