Lines and doors
The labor pains of adoption. You wouldn’t believe how many times we had to wait in how many lines, and for how long. After paying for health insurance, which took half a day, we went the next day to get registered with a family doctor. We paid 50 lei for two pieces of paper attesting…

Poems
Over the last month I’ve been going through emotional and spiritual (healing) invigoration. My vision for life is becoming clearer again, with every trip, class, hike, sermon, breakfast and communion late at night. On a clear day I can see forever. I want to say it all at once, but I can’t. So I’ll write…
