To me, magic is everywhere.

The women in my family - my grandmother and my mother - have been both sources of comfort and terror. Protection was not always available.

I imagine there's an undercurrent of the impact of early religious teachings and my break from what I was taught and expected to perform if I wanted to be considered normal in my family of origin.

I wish to be a cat. I like to imagine I was a cat in a past life.

To me, magic is everywhere.

My relationship with my mother has always felt like the most complicated relationship of my life. I know I have a lot more writing to do on this.

I'd like to imagine that "dreamoir" becomes a subgenre of nonfiction, maybe ultimately because I'd love to read many more dreamoirs by other writers - poets and memoirists especially.
