thoughts on a saturday – make it rain

By Jet On February 11, 2012 · 4 Comments · In fog in the valley
Ed says I am the most hopeful person he knows, that I can turn anything around. I can – and do – see the good everywhere. Kristina says I am a glass is 90% full person. She’s right. I see the best in people. I live in hope. But I am no saint. I hope they would tell you that, [...]

that day in february

By Jet On February 9, 2012 · 2 Comments · In rhythm + seasons
Every year in February there is a week (or even just a few days) when the sun shines, the temperature rises, and our faith in all things good is restored. If you don’t live in Seattle, that last may seem an exaggeration. If you do – or have – you know exactly what I mean. [...]

come darkness, come light

    letter to my twenty-year-old self
