We were told we would get more writing done than we anticipated. I didn’t believe it…and then there I was, two days before the end of my residency, with a full first draft of my book.
In the midst of seismic change, the time and space to think expansively is a true gift.


I wrote at the edge of the restored wetlands of Tomales Bay. Like grief, the terrain was in constant flux.

On my last day, I felt honored to add my name to the long list of creators and thought leaders who have passed through Mesa Refuge.
