Gathering

Reflections From the Mirror Pond

Gathering is exactly that, though nothing about it is exact. Found images, books, music, films, beautiful ephemera, musings, observations and thoughts. I’ve wanted to create a newsletter where I can write about various things, allowing my interests to shift and change as I do. My self has never been stagnant, always mutable, always coming into being. The writing here will reflect that.

Along the way, I’ll recommend books, teachers, activities, meditations, and everything I lean into in order to stay grounded in the beauty of the world. Beauty includes pain. I’ll reflect on that sometimes too.

The world in this moment not only feels vital and chaotic and terrible, it is. Can we find beauty here? Can we keep our cups full of beauty so we can participate in the ways we need to, for justice and art and everything that matters?

Be alone with me. Walk with me. Stare into puddles. Watch the rain. Smell the leavings of summer and arrival of autumn. We’ll go into winter together.
