WHAT THIS IS

A book in the making. A life being understood.

This site is where the research lives. As I write a book about a woman and her dog — about the years they grew up together, the quiet lessons and the loud ones — I find myself needing to think out loud.

These essays are that thinking. They wander through love and what it asks of us, through worth and how we forget it, through healing and the strange, unhurried way it happens. They are not finished thoughts. They are honest ones.

Daisy didn’t know she was teaching me. That might be the most important thing about her.
