To be known, you must know yourself.
I am learning that there is a responsibility to being known by another. Sarah and I can’t expect to read each other perfectly right off the bat. Nor can we coast off the years we’ve been together. I am only starting to learn about myself. Really. There is work to be done that I’ve simply […]

It’s a strange life, this is. I’m standing at the Caltrain station, watching the 195 leave me behind in the dust, watching a long, slow whistle escape from the engine train and surround me with its delightful irony.
