The act of authoring a book, like the creation of this wild website, is a solo performance of showing up. I show up to myself and to you. These bubbling cauldrons of confession emerge from roots of devotion—to language, to self-and-world-honoring, to Relationship. My books are a share of the incandescent babble, my adventures in translation.
To publish words in a book for the sake of future time, an author of memoir dives, with a net, into the rushing water under her bridge to save some selective memoires, and set the weight of words upon that which is flowing away. These books are fields filled with shards of mirrors. These books are communion with the co-created, uncloseted cosmos.

FLOOD SONG
In 2013 my town was practically destroyed by a thousand year flood. All the infrastructure — bridges, electricity, fire station, water plant, the canyon road, and 1/5th of our houses were swept away down the river. We were all evacuated by army helicopters. It took over a year to rebuild the road, and for all that time I witnessed and wrote it all down.
