Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Whenever we have people over to visit, one of the first things they do is use the Magnetic Poetry set on our refrigerator. Given the temporal nature of these creations, I thought it would be cool to start archiving some of them. Maybe this will incite more people to visit us - not only do [...]

Stuck Between Stations

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

But if I say, “I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
