well, it’s been a while- again.
I was at SUrf camp this week, which was a big mix of emotions and exhaustion and fun and spiritual challenge and rest and… all the things.
One night I sat with Ruth and Paddy and a gradually growing group of people, and we created a list: 30 before 30. Next June is my thirtieth birthday, and while that’s just another number, it’s sometimes quite nice to use arbitrary things to create a change.
so here’s my list. if you can help, holla at ya girl. (none of this is binding. it’s all ideas and goals and I’ll do as much as I can… probably.)
- get a new tattoo
- be working with young people in a permanent context
- go to South Africa
- go back to New Jersey
- take a pottery class
- make some art
- finish this years sketchbook project
- go to a gig
- go to some live theatre

- sign up for a star constellation
