On Gathering Hopefulness
Somewhere between the quiet work of research and the noisy work of being heard, there is a space that doesn't get named often enough. It's the space where people who care about their subjects - deeply, patiently, sometimes for decades - try to bring that care into the world and find someone to share it with.
That space is where On Gathering Hopefulness lives. Welcome.
And if you ever want to bring what you care about into the world, contact me and we’ll find a way.
