Wait, are we there yet? Usually I arrive at my front door and think ahh, I’m home! But every now and then I want to ask someone Are we there yet? Surely, THIS can’t be it. Because, no matter how many hydrangea I fill our kitchen with, no matter how...

An Antidote to Dystopian Hunger Here’s the thing. I could eat 700 pistachios, cutting up my fingers as I rip apart shells and still be starving hungry. My boredom of all chicken dishes cannot be overstated. And I feel hostage to power greens. But more than any of this, I...

Like a Crocus into Spring. On the way to school in the morning Finn and I set an intention for the day. This crocus metaphor was his. I gave him a ‘Right On!’ He followed up with asking me if I wanted to know his secret for coming up with...

Of (Transformer)Tuesdays and (Threedom)Thursdays Starting this Thursday October 22nd the Pilgrim will be premiering the hopefully-soon-to-be-acclaimed debut of Transformer Tuesday and Threedom Thursdays.

It’s October 12th 2015: Have you seen your inner landscape? We focus a lot of energy on exteriors. The way we look. What we do. What we have. Who we know. Where we live. We are in constant dialogue with how to improve our external circumstances. There is an assumption...

Easier said than done. There are so many layers and pockets inside pockets and secret trap doors and underground passages and crucial messages written in hieroglyphics.

The Sky is Swirling with Magic It’s just so hard to see when darkness gets in the way. Or deadlines. Or drama. Or the efficient driven, productivity-centric practicality that seems to dominate much of our modern-day thinking. Art allows us to breathe. Not air, but the oxygen of yes, that…...
