Wander & Wonder
Climate-friendly and slow travel, equitable access to outdoor recreation, and nature’s awesomeness
daily practice
When you go slow enough, you create things
The beingness of slow travel
I’m not bothered about the many places in America I haven’t seen. But making the investment to travel to Europe meant time I spent not seeing sights felt wasted. A death doula’s wisdom turned that around for me.
A wild spring into summer - friends, prompts and comics
Friends and prompts are integral to maintaining a creativity practice. Unexpected things can happen when other people are there to give you support and cheer you on. These surprises are a little bit of wildness to remind you of what’s fun about creativity and to keep you inspired.
Make a mark - iteration as practice
Being a creative is a matter of acknowledging and nourishing your creativity. One mark at a time. Over and over and over and over again. This is called practice, and it’s how all art and creative works get made.
Accomplishments and creative pinch points
I often forget to acknowledge the small acts of creativity that are part of my daily practice, especially when I have a big, difficult task. I still do both, but it requires adjustments, especially motivating myself to visit the difficulty day after day and managing how I feel.
