Just got an invitation to the CineHealth Awards Ceremony in Philly. Not sure we'll make the trip but really grateful for the finalist nomination. Especially grateful for Bon's remission and ongoing health improvement.

"The first one I remember perched alone, head cocked, studying me. Its feathers caught the light—not just black, but blue, violet, oil-slick green. The longer I looked, the more alive the darkness became. That shimmer taught me something: darkness is rarely what it seems." (WIP/Walking With Crows)

I have dozens of pages of writing about crows, hundreds of crow drawings, and an animation called Crowboy. Took me a while to see how central #crows are to my #mentalhealth journey. #draw #mentalhealthmatters
Crows appear at the edges of things. They live in thresholds. Between wild and domestic, forest and city, seen and unseen. The mind, too, is a threshold- the place where past meets present, where reason brushes against feeling. Where what we hide hovers just beneath what we show.
