I don’t want to abandon the “interesting life.”

I don’t want to abandon the “interesting life.” I want to refine it.

I want my child to grow up around: • art • story • music • ritual • the living world • creativity as normalcy • parents who are present, not panicked • wonder as a daily practice

Maybe we don’t have a hobby farm, but we have: • a downtown studio full of magic • a puppet wagon that roams the seasons • a family that collaborates on mythic worlds • a home where imagination is currency

That’s not “normal” — but normal was never the goal. The goal is a life worth remembering.

And I think we’re making one.
