transmutations

A cou­ple years ago, I cut a hole in the fence of all my fears and ran for it. 

What I didn’t know or ex­pect was that my orig­i­nal mak­ings would use the same open­ing to pour back through and make the shape of me sol­id again. I re­turned to myself—but only be­cause I sweat­ed through wel­com­ing it, no mat­ter the doubt, un­cer­tain­ty, and the would-be ease of go­ing back to com­fort­able, fa­mil­iar, thwart­ing territory. 

And in that first year, there were three fu­ner­als, too. Chris in a mo­tor­cy­cle ac­ci­dent, Katha­ri­na in thun­der­clap of can­cer that left a boyfriend and baby be­hind, and Cibi, the last of my grand­parental figures. 

These three let­ter­press pieces were the out­pour­ing that ush­ered me along, but they’re not just about me. They’re about you, too. They are about life and death force en­er­gies, and about us, as ves­sels. We can go un­der, bail, or give up—or de­cide to let every­thing we ex­pe­ri­ence be the muse of transformation.
