A Memory on the Occasion of Putting Animals to Sleep

10 / 10 / 1610 / 10 / 16

You think about the pit mix who was young once along with your children. They were all of a piece. The dog with the pointy ears and pink and black snout. The child with the pointy ears and the sudden way she darted across the room followed by the puppy. Now the puppy has rheumatism.… Read More

In Charlotte, Putting an End to Police Killings

9 / 26 / 1610 / 10 / 16

Charlotte, September 22, 2016. More murder, more anger, more confrontation between police in riot gear and protesters in the Queen City, the place my daughter and I call home.  This is the city my neighbors have cherished for its easygoing manners, its kindness and conviviality. Now we have the death of another black man, 43-year-old Keith… Read More

Harbin through Blue Eyes

1 / 21 / 1612 / 27 / 16

January 11, 2016.  As I stepped off the train at Harbin West station after an eight hour train ride across the Manchurian flatlands from Beijing, the station was moist and frigid with the Siberian wind and the night which had fallen hours before. It was -29 degrees Celsius as I dragged my two suitcases and… Read More

Sunrise at Borobudur

To be a Fashion Plate, Wear the Hijab

3 / 22 / 153 / 30 / 15

It’s been three weeks so chock full of Indonesian experience.  Each day new lectures, close encounters with medical and comm students, children, security guards, cooks, geophysicists, random athletes and mop-haired photojournalists and artists.   It’s as though I’m being flooded with torrents of images, data, and experiences and I can’t stop the flow. Surprisingly, at… Read More

From Jakarta to Bandung to Jatinagor

3 / 4 / 153 / 5 / 15

March 4 2015:   First jet lagged impressions… It’s been quite a trip to Bandung, Indonesia: a 24 hour unexpected furlough in Japan, arrival at midnight in Jakarta, strange languages, 1 AM rides through shanty squalor fronted by modern highways. We drove down a single lane into a hotel courtyard, trees swaying with Christmas lights.… Read More

Seeing Raptors for the First Time (with Avery)

2 / 17 / 154 / 2 / 15

When sparks go flying, When raptors fall with injured wings, When little girls reach out beyond the frame to crows and ravens, singing; a chirp and caw of destiny evermore, the flutter of black wings. Oh friend I shall be leaving But not forgetting why I came to this place — Reminded of the beak… Read More
