good weekend
the view of a wooded trail from atop Tex, a sweet, mild-mannered horse. a bright, tie-dye painted bus towing inner tubes in the background, a bike and a row of red kayaks in the foreground. It is raining. myself and coyne atop our horses, smiling in the sun. the shenandoah river is visible behind us through the trees. myself and coyne atop our horses, tied up at the stable. the shenandoah valley’s blue ridge mountains are visible behind us.

had a lovely dinner last night with my mama & my leading lady. ♥️

Coyne and I holding hands walking down a sunny brick path, flanked by two lines of our wedding guests doing spirit fingers and clapping. our wedding cake, topped with fresh flowers, peaches, strawberries, and honey. a black and white photo of coyne and I kissing. coyne and I on a set of red fire escape stairs, looking off into the distance. coyne is wearing a white wedding dress and holding her orange multicolored bouquet, and I am wearing a blue suit with an orange boutonnière.

revisited this poem again a few times this week
Sea-Fever BY JOHN MASEFIELD I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Space prom tonight and an ADR study to read this weekend, but this big boy just arrived… it beckons…
My hand holding the book Palo Alto by Malcom Harris. The book is enormous, over 700 pages. Its cover has the title in big bold black letters, set against a rainbow of colors softly blended to resemble a tie dye pattern.

Hi! I’m getting top surgery in 60 days.

Over the next two months, I need to raise $8500 to finance this procedure and order supplies for my recovery process.

Please share what you can spare, and help me spread the word. Thank you for your support.

“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”

Hi.👋🏼

As of this morning, 50% of my goal has been met!

THANK YOU so much for your support. Please help me keep this momentum going by chipping in a few bucks/ boosting this post if you see it.

As we inch closer to my surgery date, I need YOUR help to make this financially possible. 🙏🏻

Thank you!!

always nice to visit home.
a patch of bright blue sky of an ohio morning, with a line of wildflowers in flower beds in the foreground and sunlight streaming through green leaves in the background. a painted mural of coal miners in denim jackets, overalls, and blue caps on a concrete wall. To their left, in red spray painted block lettering, reads the phrase “without labor nothing prospers.”

touched some grass
a clear sky and a view of a lake from a wooden deck, with green sunlit trees in the foreground and mountains in the background. a rocky waterfall in lush green woods. green farmland with some wildflowers and brush in the foreground, with a partly cloudy sky and mountains in the background. myself in an orange t shirt, black shorts, and hiking boots. standing under the rocky waterfall with my arms outstretched and a wide smile on my face.

SO excited to finally meet our incredible Patti Grace Smith fellows N’Kira & Meredith in person tonight at the Rising Stars banquet ♥️ Each year I’ve been floored by the brilliance of these fellows, & I’m so honored to finally work with some directly this summer. Ad astra, class of 2023!✨
