Summer

Growing up I felt a visceral connection to the natural world.

Wonder World

The narrative of wonder was ever-present. Absolutely everything was filtered through a lens of wonder, and mystery was at the core of my being.

Navidad Creek

I remember a ghost story told by my best friend’s big sister, about a young girl who ventured into a creek, meeting a terrible fate. In my version the girl is a survivor and a heroine.

Imaginary Friends

I had only one imaginary friend when I was very little. Now I have many.

Girl in the Moon

So many nights I peered out my window, searching for the man in the moon. Nowadays I realize it was me I was looking for all along.

Cypress

Can we ever really see the unseeable and know the unknowable? I hope so.

Fish Story

Storytelling is potent.

Venus

And in the story of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, this is how I imagined her; strong, ethereal and sure of her path.

Talisman

Some seek powers outside of themselves, but not the rabbit.

The Big Dipper

And at the end of the day, I surely do believe in a friendly universe.
