We are part of many worlds. Our inner world, our minds, are as complex and interesting as the universe around us and the world of the particles that make up our world. Perhaps this blog prompts us to unleash the our child’s mind at play, our unrestrained curiosity, freedom to explore our inner world, to ask questions about who we are and our world.

This blog features fiction and non-fiction stories along with visual art. The stories explore a wide range of themes, often focusing on identity, personal struggles, and human connections. The artwork reflects both ongoing projects and previously exhibited art. The creative processes which are the foundation of art, storytelling, and science share much in common. The creative process is rooted in curiosity, exploration and play, the kind familiar to children.
