The Grace of Good Works
I arrive in Imuris at dusk, exhausted, colors heightened. My ears are torn by the ripping sound of a truck downshifting, slowing into town. Nowhere to stay, I continue south. I am stopped by a stranger in front of the bus station who says in almost perfect English, “Hey! Where are you going?” (more…)

I left Olive for Main. Industry is quiet on Sunday night.

It was clear upon leaving the elated Elevate Film Festival, amidst the fanfare, the red (green) carpet, that so much more is possible than we imagine, and that I really had no idea how to do what I had imagined, what I had seen. I had no idea about the places, people, circumstances, and challenges I would face.
I AM Walking! October 5th! Please Join Us For the Launch!
