A book in progress
Personal essays on love, cost, and what we carry. The stuff underneath the public work.
The Pattern Drops are about the systems. This is about the man inside them.
Shallow Hands is a book being built in real time. Personal essays about what it costs to love deeply in a world that treats dependable people like infrastructure. About fatherhood. About the weight that accumulates when you're the one who never puts it down. About the moment you finally do.
These pieces are not political commentary. They are the other thing.
The Essays
You think the more you love someone, the closer they'll come. So you give more. Then one day you wake up and you're not in love anymore. You're tired.
Shallow Hands pieces are written when there's something real to say. Subscribe and you'll get them direct.
