Friends, loved ones. I’ll have time for a more thorough update later. For now, our house burned down late last night, around midnight. It’s now uninhabitable and I’m living, along with my five other housemates, in a motel. We’re all safe.

The Red Cross blew my mind with their friendliness, genorosity and caring. My grandmother’s composure at 3am her time astounded me. Friends and neighbors came out of the woodwork to offer love, well wishes and shoes.

For now, we rest in a space of Not Knowing.
