Pondering: Blog Posts

  • Interior house photo after a fire30 Years
    People seem curious why I’m not more angry about the illnesses that ravage my body, erode my sense of trust and safety in myself, limit what I can do in the world. I don’t know the full answer. But I can tell you where a piece of that answer is: April 20, 1992. Or maybe it was really April 22, walking slowly in confusion and […]
  • Trust Us To Be Reliable Narrators
    I so often love Brianne’s comments, questions, perspectives. And this one is particularly important. When my people *understand* what’s going on with me, that’s great! I feel seen, cared for, appreciative that they’ve taken the time to learn. But do you know what’s even more awesome? Having folks […]
  • Illustration of a woman in seated meditationPractice, Not Perfect
    Meditation is saving my brain and my heart. I don’t remember when I first learned to meditate. I remember being required to sit every day for a period of three months back in about 2004. So it was before that. And I used to have a relatively consistent practice. But it waned as life changed. In 2017, I picked it back up […]
  • Image of USPS love stampThe Post Office: Power, Responsibility and Access
    I’ve seen two flavors of memes going around lately, and they are both problematic. One directs folks to buy stamps in order to generate income for the post office. The other directs people to do things to vote that don’t depend on our rapidly drowning postal system. Both of these actually scapegoat us into believing […]

    I love seeing how other people organize things and solve problems. Those what’s in your bag posts? Love them. For bedbound folks, the question is usually, what’s next to your bed? We want to know how folks set up their space for maximum efficiency, and find ideas we can steal for ourselves. I did a post about this […]
  • Photo of a dresser-scape, including a sign that reads "we can do hard things."Some Coping Approaches for COVID-19
    I know folks are feeling scared and overwhelmed with the prospect of social distancing, isolation, possibly even quarantine. Here’s a missive from someone who has experience being housebound. I’ve been mostly housebound since sometime in 2017. As of this writing, I have not left my home at all since October 2019. I […]
  • Photograph of the cover of "The Water Dancer" displayed on a tablet.Reading List: January and February 2020
    My brain has been pretty good so far this year, which is always just a roll of the dice. I’ve probably been able to read at some point every week. I always count my books in the year I finish them, which is a little bit of a cheat, since I read the bulk of my first book this year in December. But, at least I’m […]
