Hi friends,
I hope you all are well and I apologize for the recent silence around here. At the beginning of this month, my younger sister had a medical emergency—she is thankfully doing well and is home recovering, but it was a scary few weeks, and my attention has been concentrated on my family.
I’ve thought about writing so often through all of this but haven’t been able to find the words or energy. Instead, I’ve been reading some and swimming in the lakes near my childhood home. The quiet and empty spaces are coveted right now, as my thoughts and feelings have been on overdrive for the past seventeen days.
I’ll be taking a few additional weeks away to rest and process, and I hope to start regularly publishing again in August. If you have a paid subscription and want to pause it, you can do so via the instructions in this link. In the meantime, enjoy this recent essay from The Audacity and the below song from Montell Fish (it’s accompanied me on many late-night drives).
Thank you for…
