“I visited her fifth-floor apartment on Barrow Street one day in 1957. There before my very eyes were her two husbands disappointed by the eggs. After that we talked and talked for nearly forty years. Then she died. Three days before that, she said slowly, with the delicacy of an unsatisfied person with only a dozen words left, Grace, the real question is – how are we to live our lives?”

– Grace Paley

I collect answers to that question.

The search has led me to many places & identities: I’ve lived in 12 cities, and pursued careers in marketing, product & business. In what feels like another lifetime, I did research in quantum physics.

I hunt for things that can inspire awe or reduce me to silence. I call that stuff magic. Looking for it and holding it seems like a good way to live, so I mostly move in the direction of maximum magic.

You can read my blog here. Observations make their way to it occasionally—sometimes as poetry, sometimes as prose.

I read a lot (and keep a list about it). I like making lists. Like this one of videos I’ve seen & liked so far. Or this one of some published stuff, from when I used to write long-ish poems & short fiction. These days, it’s mostly short, spontaneous poetry on Twitter. About ordinary things that reduce me to silence.
