This year begins with attention. I enter it aware that writing is not a destination, but a practice one shaped by curiosity, patience, and a willingness to listen.

I do not begin with answers. I begin with questions, with observation, and with a commitment to stay present to what unfolds. These pieces will be shaped by revision, reflection, and the understanding that meaning often emerges slowly.

What follows is part of an ongoing journey. I offer this work in the spirit of exploration, trusting that clarity will come not from haste, but from care.
