online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Anyway here’s a poem I wrote about my cat

After “Do not stand at my grave and weep”, author disputed:

Do not stand at your bowl and meow. I gave you food. It’s in there now. I feed you at the dawning light, I feed you at the fall of night. I feed you kibbles mixed with meat And wet food for a special treat. I feed you even though you scoff At all the food within your trough. I feed you and still yet you yell Like as a beast from deepest hell. Do not stand at your bowl and cry. I gave you food. You will not die.

[gripping the sink] perfectionism does not help me avoid embarrassment or shame. perfectionism is in itself a form of shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame

What do you see when you see a bird?  Is it the grace of its flight?  The intelligence in its gaze?  The sharpness of its beak?  The softness of its down?  Each of us has been gifted a way of seeing birds, unique to our eye alone.  When we are in the woods together, I can see my bird, but not yours.
But what if we draw our birds for each other?  And the next time either of us is in the woods, we find our capacity to see has grown?  Your drawing can teach me to notice strength, softness, swiftness, grace, I otherwise would miss.  It does not need to be a "good" drawing.  It has energy and life simply because it is yours.
What abundance, to be surrounded by the drawings of other people!  Each overlapping in ways, but at their core, inherently unique.  Each one, in its own small way, the gift of sight.  Making our perception of the world a little sharper, brighter, deeper.
Ours is an age where, increasingly, capital would like to teach us how to see birds.  Smooth, flat, digestible.  With every intention of making us all poorer.  But real nourishment will always come from each other.  I want to see birds the way people do.  I want to see birds the way you do.

A four page comic about drawing, drawn for the Portland Public Library's newest exhibit, "Why We Make Comics: Reflections on Storytelling".

If you live in Portland ME, you can see this comic, as well as three others drawn by Isabella Rotman, Caroline Hu, and Liz Prince, on display from October 6th to December 31 at the library!
