Choosing Love When You Know It Will Hurt
There is a moment in the movie Arrival that stays with you long after the film ends. It is not loud. It is not dramatic. It does not rely on spectacle.

This Isn’t the Life We Were Meant to Live
There’s a photo I saw recently — a group of people on a lunch break, sitting neatly on a patch of grass. Above it, a caption read: “Caged-free, pasture-raised humans, allowed to roam for 30 minutes a day. Just the way nature intended…” It was meant to be funny. But to me, it hit harder Continue reading
