Driven to the mountains high
They were sunken
in the cities deep
Livin’ in my sleep

—Neil Young, Goin’ Back

Vintage holiday ornaments for our nine foot Christmas tree.

I’m not sure how to start, or what to say — what I do know, is that the Holiday window that we’ve been developing since June of this year is out in the world. This is a project I was close to throughout and saw through to the end. To see your time and mind come alive is an incredible feeling.

To Republicans in Congress who might feel uneasy about responding to this tragedy with laws that might prevent the next one, we offer this grim reference. Rather than responding to Sutherland Springs, act as though the legislation was responding to the mass shootings in Las Vegas, Dallas, Orlando, San Bernardino, Colorado Springs, Roseburg, Chattanooga, Charleston, Marysville, Isla Vista, Fort Hood, Santa Monica, or Sandy Hook Elementary School, to name a few.

Fringe for days these days. 

From a weekend in the Catskills, staying up late, waking to trees, pine cone scattered dirt, sweet air and silence.

Fire across the plains
Light upon the lake

All these times will change
I can’t turn away

–

Will life get ahead of me?
