the tools!

I’m relearning everything! I’m going everywhere. Outside. Inside. Museums. Libraries. I’m making so many mistakes! Here is where I experiment and document the process. Not polished like the podcast, but here we are. There’s some materials not pictured here, but I look forward to sharing more later!

poetry

I went to Vroman’s bookstore. I often feel alone when it comes to spirituality, lineage, ancestry. I opened a page wondering I can’t be the only one feeling what I’m feeling. I can’t be the only one experiencing what I’m experiencing. I landed on a page that confirmed that yes you are not alone, Sandy. So I bought this book of poetry as a reminder, probably a reminder that poetry can be a companion for the road/journey ahead.
