From,
M.
This is a place for the thoughts that gather around my work: a question I carry home from a reading, a book I return to at the right hour, an image that will not let go. Sometimes it begins with a song, an object, a memory, or a simple thought.
I’ll share From, Mo. occasionally, but always with intention. Some entries will look back at gatherings that have stayed with me. Others will hold what I’m reading, tending, questioning, or learning now.
Sending Light,
From, Mo.
