Tell about it

November 9, 2025

There are only two ways to live your life: one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.

Albert Einstein

Mary Oliver wrote instructions for living a life in her poem Sometimes. Three lines, seven words. Hard to beat it, I think:

Pay attention, be astonished, tell about it.

These writings are my effort to do all three, in particular the last one. Writing forces you to pay attention, to notice things that sometimes go unsaid or unseen. It also gives you a surface to feel a sense of awe and wonder about the world around us. To realize how small we really are, but how beautifully liberating that can be.

Lastly, writing is storytelling, and I hope the stories and messages here find the intended recipient. Every post is a little different, and if you stumble upon one, I’d like to think it was meant to be. I don’t believe in accidents, not with the universe we live in and the God we have. Everything unfolds the way it should. If you’re here, consider paying attention. It’s always the start of something more.
