An essay by amazing Jean Muenchrath who told me years ago, when I was a writer in residence in Rocky Mountain National Park, that sometimes you just have to take time off from writing and lets things rest.

Still thinking about this essay I published in Miracle Monocle—raw, honest, and close to the bone. Writing it pushed me to places I didn’t expect, and I’m grateful it found a home here.
