Recalling that your own imagination is also a part of nature, is one way to reconnect with the gorgeous wellspring of magic that our universe hides in plain sight.

Grief hurts. Yet, we get to craft our own meanings. And we don't owe pain the last word.

Say to your pain "I owe you nothing. It is not you who made me strong, but my own forbearance. It was not you who taught me lessons, but I learned from my own heart."

“Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.” ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay • In the Daisy Field • Photograph from 1908

We’ve now put out the programme for the Imaginative Landscapes and Otherworlds 2024 conference. This year’s theme (The Liminality of Water and Aqueous Realms) is especially close to my own research interests, but also for anyone else with a love of the Blue Humanities.

Reading is not a waste of time or being unproductive. It is not mere luxury. Reading reminds us of why we are alive. It connects us to others, to ourselves, to wonder. It nurtures the imagination & nourishes the spirit. Reading is necessity.

We can use our energy to encourage those around us, to build community, and to relentlessly believe in the reality that we are not our conditioned behaviors.

Exciting news - we received proofs for the Xena volume and it is now available for pre-order on Amazon!! My first book chapter will soon be out in the world 😄

New Euripides fragments from professors at @CUClassics, this is a big deal! colorado.edu/asmagazine/202…

I'm more and more convinced that if a deity appears in a Greek tragedy as an actual character, they need to be (at least in some measure) liable to failure... Dr Kate Cook thoughts?

I’m not trying to write a tailored suit. I’m trying to write boot socks, warm from the dryer. There’s an endless autumn in me, scenting my thoughts like campfire smoke. I write for the weather I know.
