    A quotation from Cicero

    MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.
     
    [Magni autem est ingenii sevocare mentem a sensibus et cogitationem ab consuetudine abducere.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 16 (1.16) / sec. 38 (1.38) (45 BC) [ed. Harbottle (1897)]

    The Weight of Wonder

    Two nights before leaving for the Pacific Northwest, I find myself surrounded by wrinkled itinerary pages, hiking gear, and a dream I’ve carried for nearly half my life. What begins as a story about planning slowly becomes something much deeper: learning that simply standing in the place you’ve longed for can matter more than finishing every mile.

    Yesterday, I Needed Quiet

    For the past few weeks, I’ve been sleeping more than I have in a long time. I’ll wake up only to fall back asleep again. Projects I’ve been excited about sit untouched. Chores around the house feel bigger than they should. I honestly don’t know why. Yesterday was no different. I almost didn’t go.

    Chapter Seven: Return to Wonder | Perfectly Imperfect Life

    For years, the Pacific Northwest has lived somewhere in my imagination. As July begins, I’m reflecting on why some places stay with us long before we’ve ever arrived and how learning to notice beauty has quietly changed the way I move through the world.

    241 Days Later

    For so much of the last week, I have been focused on what felt broken. The Body Dysmorphia. The RSD. The exhaustion. The darkness that likes to lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to convince me that I am weaker than I really am. Monday reminded me that while those things may always be part of my story, they are not the whole story.

    "More familiarity just brings more questions—the birds become more mysterious, not less." Read a new essay from Jenny Odell about soft eyes, deep listening, and other ways to strengthen how we perceive. longreads.com/2026/06/02/jenny #perception #earth #seeing #hearing #senses #attention #longreads

    URBAN FALL

    While orchid hues are overwhelming
    The sky reddening canopy
    Drops walnuts afore my feet
    My senses conspire
    As I walk Autumn
    Lanes Urban Fall
    Never fails
    To lead
