“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow May we practice empathy even in the face of hate. #MondayMetta #photography #empathy #nohate

“We all carry within us places of exile, our crime, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.” -A. Camus
May we learn to be at ease and peaceful within ourselves, so world meditates with our best selves.

A quote just resurfaced from Ian A. Cook as I frustratingly seek a job: "So much of our misery grows out of the gap between where we are and where we think we ought to be." I am working to let go of the fear of uncertainty and lightly ride the winds of change. #letgo #patience #hopeful #academicsky

Two publications this past summer: a book chapter and continued editor and authorship of this critical composition reader. Now, if I only could find a full-time teaching position. #academicsky #composition #motherhood #RereadingAmerica13ed #Mothering #intergenerationaltrauma

BlueSkylites, despair and sadness pervaded my spirit the last few weeks. I have decided to return to Monday Metta: May you move through the hours ahead with gentleness, touching life without harm, and finding small moments of sweetness, even amidst uncertainty. #metta #photography #artsky #flower

In a perfect world, everyone would be given a month off to do nothing but read all of the books on their to-be-read list or on the bedside stand.🥰 #booksky

I am a literarian who commits epeolatry because I am also a bibliophagist and is constantly book-bosomed. There is no such thing a bibliobibuli and performing bibliosmia is acceptable. Welcome to my world. #booksky #reading #photography #literature

Leaving administration to return to teaching. Anyone know of any great English Departments looking to reignite the English Major. I hope to secure a position that actively seeks creativity and innovation in culturally responsive pedagogy. #composition #literature #digitalhumanities

When I visited the #Amsterdam #AppleStore from the movie #iHostage, I didn’t know the history of the #Leidseplein store. I felt like I had entered Fort Knox though. Anyway, I now know why it was heavily guarded. Here’s a shot from inside the store. #Leica #blackandwhitephotography #artsky
