Finding my way back.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-2-2025-ripening 2025-03-02T05:00:00 2025-03-02T05:00:00

It's time to put things out when they're ready.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-23-2025-confrontation 2025-02-23T05:00:00 2025-02-23T05:00:00

There are always hard times.

I think I'm listening to the wrong one.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-9-2025-consolidation 2025-02-09T05:00:00 2025-02-09T05:00:00

It's growth or stability.

The beginning is always weird.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-26-2025-welcome-to-athens 2025-01-26T05:00:00 2025-01-26T05:00:00

Timeless. Worn.

Stepping back at the end of 2024, and taking time to reflect.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-8-2024-tokyo-in-photos-november-2024 2024-12-09T05:00:00 2024-12-09T05:00:00

Take a peek at what the city looked like, in November 2024.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-1-2024-letting-go 2024-12-01T05:00:00 2024-12-01T05:00:00

Soo... a video game changed my view on life.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-24-2024-the-best-things 2024-11-24T05:00:00 2024-11-24T05:00:00

Those p.s. links in every letter? They're changing a bit.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-17-2024-yep-still-depression 2024-11-17T05:00:00 2024-11-17T05:00:00

And that's ok.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-10-2024-tokyo-in-photos-october-2024 2024-11-10T05:00:00 2024-11-10T05:00:00

Here's what the city looked like, in October 2024.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-3-2024-the-work 2024-11-03T05:00:00 2024-11-03T05:00:00

There's only one sure-fire way to bridge the gap.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-27-2024-insecure 2024-10-27T05:00:00 2024-10-27T05:00:00

The questions never go away - and that's ok.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-20-2024-silhouettes 2024-10-20T05:00:00 2024-10-20T05:00:00

On the beauty of only seeing our outlines.

The start of my time here, in photos.

A new side of Tōkyo.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-29-2024-en-route 2024-09-28T05:00:00 2024-09-28T05:00:00

Halfway between here and there.

My favorite photos, live from the Olympics.

Another year, and a little bit more love.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-8-2024-metal 2024-09-08T05:00:00 2024-09-08T05:00:00

Wheelchair rugby taught me what's actually possible.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-1-2024-goalball 2024-09-01T05:00:00 2024-09-01T05:00:00

There's more to seeing than sight.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-25-2024-today 2024-08-25T05:00:00 2024-08-25T05:00:00

Running out of days in Paris, and an important reminder.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-aug-18-2024-rest 2024-08-18T05:00:00 2024-08-18T05:00:00

Coming off the intensity of the Olympics, and learning about rest.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-aug-11-2024-olympic 2024-08-11T05:00:00 2024-08-11T05:00:00

For the past three weeks, I've been at the Olympics in Paris. It has been *incredible*.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-aug-4-2024-lost 2024-08-04T05:00:00 2024-08-04T05:00:00

In case you need to hear it: it's ok to be lost.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-28-2024-truth 2024-07-28T05:00:00 2024-07-28T05:00:00

Photography, and telling the truth.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-jul-21-2024-things-are-changin 2024-07-21T05:00:00 2024-07-21T05:00:00

I'm making some big changes to Ink & Feet - here's what it'll mean!

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-jul-14-2024-welcome-again-to-paris 2024-07-14T05:00:00 2024-07-14T05:00:00

I keep coming back to this city, and find a little more of why each time.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-jul-7-2024-im-back 2024-07-07T05:00:00 2024-07-07T05:00:00

After a few years away, I'm ready to get back to writing and sharing my work.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-23-2023-ten-years 2023-07-23T05:00:00 2023-07-23T05:00:00

I sold everything and started traveling ten years ago. Now I'm heading home.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-6-2022-welcome-home 2022-03-06T05:00:00 2022-03-06T05:00:00

Home is a place. Right?

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-20-2022-shipwrecked 2022-02-20T05:00:00 2022-02-20T05:00:00

Washing ashore in Los Angeles. Unsure of anything besides sea and shore.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-17-2021-separate 2021-10-17T05:00:00 2021-10-17T05:00:00

Untying the knot, with kindness.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-27-2021-see-you-in-august 2021-06-27T05:00:00 2021-06-27T05:00:00

It's time for a little break. :)

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-20-2021-temporary 2021-06-20T05:00:00 2021-06-20T05:00:00

At some point, this stopped being temporary, and starting being life.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-13-2021-rough 2021-06-13T05:00:00 2021-06-13T05:00:00

I'm back 'home'. And it is not good.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-6-2021-after 2021-06-05T05:00:00 2021-06-05T05:00:00

The long, slow drive back.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-30-2021-words 2021-05-30T05:00:00 2021-05-30T05:00:00

Finally starting to meet the language of this land.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-23-2021-full-circle 2021-05-23T05:00:00 2021-05-23T05:00:00

Back where I started - and nothing's the same.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-16-2021-cold 2021-05-16T05:00:00 2021-05-16T05:00:00

Winter is coming. No, actually.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-9-2021-special 2021-05-09T05:00:00 2021-05-09T05:00:00

The places that when you get there, you know.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-2-2021-macho 2021-05-02T05:00:00 2021-05-02T05:00:00

Turns out I learned a lot of things that nobody taught me.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-25-2021-less-hard 2021-04-25T05:00:00 2021-04-25T05:00:00

Fossilization is optional.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-18-2021-contrast 2021-04-18T05:00:00 2021-04-18T05:00:00

Trees, concrete, and an honest realization.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-11-2021-run 2021-04-11T05:00:00 2021-04-11T05:00:00

Four years after a big fall, I've found my feet again.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-4-2021-real 2021-04-04T05:00:00 2021-04-04T05:00:00

It's the things stripped away. It's what's left.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-28-2021-kea 2021-03-28T05:00:00 2021-03-28T05:00:00

I have a new favorite animal. And a realization.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-21-2021-still 2021-03-21T05:00:00 2021-03-21T05:00:00

Among the pine trees and yellowing leaves, I found the breath I needed.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-14-2021-analog 2021-03-14T05:00:00 2021-03-14T05:00:00

Out here with the trees and stars, I've realized I lost something along the way.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-7-2021-west 2021-03-07T05:00:00 2021-03-07T05:00:00

I've hit the West Coast of Aotearoa. And Wildness.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-28-2021-south 2021-02-28T05:00:00 2021-02-28T05:00:00

I've arrived on New Zealand's South Island. And the world's started to fall away.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-21-2021-right-here 2021-02-21T05:00:00 2021-02-21T05:00:00

This is where the adventure, where connecting to Aotearoa New Zealand really started.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-14-2021-all-new 2021-02-14T05:00:00 2021-02-14T05:00:00

Van life has begun and I don't know how to do anything.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-february-7-2021-anticipate 2021-02-07T05:00:00 2021-02-07T05:00:00

Two days left until I'm on the road.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-31-2021-adventure 2021-01-31T05:00:00 2021-01-31T05:00:00

Big, big news. We're going on an adventure!

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-24-2021-strung 2021-01-24T05:00:00 2021-01-24T05:00:00

Something ties it all together.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-17-2021-year-shaped 2021-01-17T05:00:00 2021-01-17T05:00:00

A little clarity - and some excitement about what's coming.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-10-2021-slowly 2021-01-10T05:00:00 2021-01-10T05:00:00

Starting the new year differently. The kiwi way.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-3-2021-the-list 2021-01-03T05:00:00 2021-01-03T05:00:00

1. Start writing sober. 2. Finish not sober. 3. Do everything on it.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-27-2020-thank-you 2020-12-27T05:00:00 2020-12-27T05:00:00

You. Specifically.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-20-2020-proud 2020-12-20T05:00:00 2020-12-20T05:00:00

Trying to figure the good parts of 2020. Turns out there were some.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-13-2020-pause 2020-12-13T05:00:00 2020-12-13T05:00:00

A year-end pause. Oh, and also, the new course is out!

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-december-6-2020-the-span-of-years 2020-12-06T05:00:00 2020-12-06T05:00:00

Growth, change, and settling into one's skin.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-29-2020-vulnerability 2020-11-29T05:00:00 2020-11-29T05:00:00

Wondering if I put my heart out there as much as I used to - and if that's a good thing.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-22-2020-a-glimpse-behind-the-curtains 2020-11-22T05:00:00 2020-11-22T05:00:00

I'm finishing up a new course after months of work, and struggling with a familiar problem. Got any ideas?

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-15-2020-heat 2020-11-15T05:00:00 2020-11-15T05:00:00

The first edges of summer have started to hit the air, here in the corner of the world.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-8-2020-sidelines 2020-11-08T05:00:00 2020-11-08T05:00:00

The US election hit an unexpected nerve - where am I from, anyway?

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-november-1-2020-this-too 2020-11-01T05:00:00 2020-11-01T05:00:00

One piece of Persian wisdom seems more apt than ever.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-25-2020-still-slogging 2020-10-25T05:00:00 2020-10-25T05:00:00

Depression's still here hanging out, so here's a little bit of what it's like this time.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-18-2020-yep-still-depression 2020-10-18T05:00:00 2020-10-18T05:00:00

In a year when everthing's been upside down, it's annoying that there's one thing I can still count on.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-11-2020-voter 2020-10-11T05:00:00 2020-10-11T05:00:00

This week is the election in New Zealand - and I'm voting here for the first time.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-october-4-2020-13-weeks 2020-10-04T05:00:00 2020-10-04T05:00:00

2020 was a really weird, nebulous concept - until one day last week.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-27-2020-home-cookin 2020-09-27T05:00:00 2020-09-27T05:00:00

Code, cooking, and what comes from making things from scratch.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-20-2020-art 2020-09-20T05:00:00 2020-09-20T05:00:00

Here's to the things that don't go bad.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-13-2020-outage 2020-09-13T05:00:00 2020-09-13T05:00:00

The power dropped out, and suddenly I was thrown back in time.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-september-6-2020-fiction 2020-09-06T05:00:00 2020-09-06T05:00:00

I found an unexpected salve, a tentpole of sanity in 2020. Fiction.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-30-2020-sprout 2020-08-30T05:00:00 2020-08-30T05:00:00

I spotted them on the side of the road. And then I sat down and cried.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-23-2020-hibernate 2020-08-23T05:00:00 2020-08-23T05:00:00

Cold winter wind, and an instinct buried in our bones.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-16-2020-see-saw 2020-08-16T05:00:00 2020-08-16T05:00:00

The way the world shifts under us, even standing still.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-9-2020-look-down 2020-08-09T05:00:00 2020-08-09T05:00:00

Gravity, ground, and the bottom dropping out.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-august-2-2020-pfhoof 2020-08-02T05:00:00 2020-08-02T05:00:00

Can I level with you?

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-26-2020-air 2020-07-26T05:00:00 2020-07-26T05:00:00

As often as I can, I think about something strange: the inner workings of plants.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-19-2020-spun 2020-07-19T05:00:00 2020-07-19T05:00:00

There's one thing that keeps slipping from my grasp. Time.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-12-2020-deep-breath 2020-07-12T05:00:00 2020-07-12T05:00:00

I'm excited and terrified to start something new - a Patreon :)

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-july-5-2020-meet-eek 2020-07-05T05:00:00 2020-07-05T05:00:00

There's someone I've been waiting years to introduce you to.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-28-2020-matariki 2020-06-28T05:00:00 2020-06-28T05:00:00

As the longest night of the year passed and a special constellation rose, I've found myself looking back.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-21-2020-now 2020-06-21T05:00:00 2020-06-21T05:00:00

As lockdown has eased, I've found myself with a profound sense of urgency, left in its wake.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-14-2020-kindness-won 2020-06-14T05:00:00 2020-06-14T05:00:00

We found something unexpected, here in New Zealand. Our superpower.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-june-7-2020-racism 2020-06-07T05:00:00 2020-06-07T05:00:00

Watching America wrestle with its racist history and present. And mine.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-31-2020-showing-love 2020-05-31T05:00:00 2020-05-31T05:00:00

There's a particular feeling to taking care of a long-neglected thing. :)

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-24-2020-metamorphosis 2020-05-24T05:00:00 2020-05-24T05:00:00

I've changed over the lockdown. And it means things are going to change around here, too.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-17-2020-crowbar 2020-05-17T05:00:00 2020-05-17T05:00:00

There's something about our tools that runs deeper than we think.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-10-2020-music 2020-05-10T05:00:00 2020-05-10T05:00:00

I asked my home AI for some music and it broke me. Whole.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-may-3-2020-acceptance 2020-05-03T05:00:00 2020-05-03T05:00:00

Life in lockdown has brought an unexpected bonus: acceptance.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-26-2020-becoming-home 2020-04-26T05:00:00 2020-04-26T05:00:00

Stay still long enough, and you start to notice things you've always missed.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-19-2020-liminal 2020-04-19T05:00:00 2020-04-19T05:00:00

This here. In-between.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-april-12-2020-make-something 2020-04-12T05:00:00 2020-04-12T05:00:00

I made a bed frame this week - and felt unexpectedly better.

As the lockdown has stretched on, I've found myself fascinated by the variety that's been sitting here, right under my nose.

In a week in which everything is changing faster that we can track, I'm reminded of just how resilient we are.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-15-2020-vulnerable 2020-03-15T05:00:00 2020-03-15T05:00:00

As coronavirus has snaked its way around the world, I've found myself staring an uncomfortable truth.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-march-8-2020-sanding 2020-03-08T05:00:00 2020-03-08T05:00:00

I stared up at the beams for hours, and found something funny happening in my mind.

Sudden loss, and the realization that it could be any one of us.

https://inkandfeet.com//letter-january-5-2020-getting-started 2020-01-05T05:00:00 2020-01-05T05:00:00

I started on Ink and Feet full time this week - and was pretty shocked at what I found.
