I just love your work Corie and this fragment speaks so deeply to me:

Aren’t we all trying

to find a way to pray with each other into

cell phones or cigarettes, over water coolers, …

Beautiful. This really got me: Aren’t we all islands who touch each other

deep beneath the waves? Aren’t we all trying

to find a way to pray with each other into

cell phones

It reminds me of connecting with my uncle via texts as his life winds down - the kindest way I could say that, but probably not the most honest way.

I understand. It is that underlying connection that links us all. You are a forest guide who understands the trees, mycelium, and soil communicating with each other. It is that... but with us.

there’s something comforting in how she finds wonder in the smallest, messiest corners. makes you feel like maybe you’re allowed to, too.

Corie, this is such a beautiful, tender write. I love quiet ache underneath and the imagery is so lovely.

Thank you, Maya. It is a longing that I have always had… May you find a moment of wonder today.
