I'm most connected to myself when I'm alone in a room, moving my hand across a page. That's when I feel most like me.

Logic and faith don't occupy the same side.

I'm most connected to myself when I'm alone in a room, moving my hand across a page. That's when I feel most like me.

The truth is in the present moment.

I was in my early thirties writing about my early twenties, so there was this way of seeing my younger self from enough of a distance to have perspective but also not to feel that I had to protect myself. My dreams for myself then would have undersold myself in a way.

My son is now fourteen, and from the moment he was born, I understood that forevermore my heart would be walking around outside my body.

Writing has been my window-flung wide open to this magnificent, chaotic existence-my way of interpreting everything within my grasp.
