Last updated on: July 10, 2014 at 2:33 pm By Sara Amis

It's tough, hardy, even invasive; blackberry left unchecked tends to take over an area and make it its own. Here are a few things I've learned from a lifetime among blackberry brambles. Read more

Finding Home

Last updated on: July 2, 2014 at 2:39 pm By Sterling

Glasgow and Seattle both whisper in my ear and tell me that they could be home. Both places promise me that I can be a part of good things. Both places tell me that I can be a part of wonderful, overlapping communities of people building a future that I want to live in. Read more

I started out thinking of Marie Laveau as a kind of local spirit of New Orleans, and wound up learning a lot about Conyers. Read more

When People Don’t Want You In This Place

Last updated on: June 24, 2014 at 10:32 pm By Sterling

I am angry that elected officials and appointed civil servants in an Arkansas town feel that they have the right to block the presence of any religious group. And I am saddened that, even all these years after the civil rights movement, we the American people have still not grasped the full notion of what civil rights mean. Read more

The Queen of Fair Elfland

Last updated on: June 18, 2014 at 3:55 am By Sara Amis

Last updated on: June 18, 2014 at 1:19 am By Sterling

The Network isn't like a Natural Spirit! It's not like Nature. It's not like the birds or the trees or the dirt under my feet. It's prickly and tingly and full of electric charges. I don't want to talk to it like that! (I squirm in my seat, adjust my sweater around me as if that will make me feel more comfortable. It doesn't.) "What's unnatural about the Network?" my mentor asks. Read more
