The past four days gifted me a series of phrases that have been circling in my head from the moment I heard them, so this year I thought – why not let Book Passage speak for itself?
I’m learning that just because our dreams change and take on a different shape doesn’t mean we’re giving up on them – it simply means we’re listening to what’s working. We’re listening to the flow.
I keep thinking about the mysterious ways in which life often works – planting seeds when we least expect it, and then giving us equally unexpected opportunities to bring those seeds to fruition.

Hanna gave me a vista, context, the big picture, and I hope that wherever this finds you in life right now, that it might be of some reassurance to you as well – that the only call is to keep walking.

Vera answered me and then asked, rather knowingly, “Are you writing about the eagle?” I told her that I was – and how he taught me that whether in flight or at rest, we always have our wings.
