Epigraph
How should I praise thee, Lord! How should my rhymes
Gladly engrave thy love in steel,
If what my soul doth feel sometimes,
My soul might ever feel!

Although there were some forty heav'ns, or more,
Sometim... (show all)es I peer above them all;
Sometimes I hardly reach a score,
Sometimes to hell I fall.
-- George Herbert, "The Temper"

To my mom,
a model of self-reflection

To my dad,
a model of moving past such business

To my Sarah,
whose basic sensibility grounds the earth

To my kids,<... (show all)/i>
whose sheer momentum stirs the sky
