When I speak to groups, I often recommend programming 988 into their phones. Save it under Lifeline or Help or Crisis or Hope. We have this resource because we all need help from time to time. You could also call 988 with someone you love who needs help. And when you do call, you will find someone to talk to (not an armed response). Please call if you need to. We are not meant to go this alone. Life is a team sport.

Write with me!

I don’t have any words for today. This little essay manages to hold the impossible and the ineffable together.

On the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 - River Teeth Journal I think of John Ogonowski, leaving his farm at dawn in his green Chevy pickup .

He held the yoke, ran checklists, calmly captained the takeoff of the first plane that would crash into the World Trade Center.
