May 2026
- Currently writing

- Currently reading
- The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller. Re-reading it. I first read it at 25. The sentences mean something different now.
- Planetary weather, May 2026

- Library entry I keep returning to
- healing-is-direction-not-destination. May is the month when people either recommit to the work or quietly decide they are done. This entry is for both.
