Being witnessed

Recently I attended the wedding of a dear friend. As I watched, and also partook in the event, I loved that the event mattered because it marked a moment in the couple’s lives where other people saw them. So much of our lives involves quiet moments, moving forward, doing

Having a take on things is hard. It means getting the nuance of a situation enough to understand it and then having the time to think about why the thing matters. This is something I greatly appreciate about writers and podcasters I’ve followed for years. They try to figure

When ability matches interest

Years ago I heard that your taste starts out right, but it takes time until your skills can match your tastes. This is so true. I’m interested in so many things, have a sense for how they should be done, but when I sit down to do the thing,

I’ve long followed the likes of other writers, and been in awe of their ability to charge a subscription, or generate ad revenue, from their writing. It’s something I’ve thought about for myself; and there may be a future there, but more importantly I believe writing for
