“She has taught me patience. And as someone who has made their living through words, she has made me consider the dignity and persuasiveness of silence.”
― Raising Hare: A Memoir
― Raising Hare: A Memoir
“I want to spend my energy thinking not of how my actions might be frowned upon by a man in the sky, but how my actions affect every living and non-living thing around me. Life is God. My life is tied to yours, and to everyone’s on this planet. How does that not instantly make us more in debt to one another? And also offer us the comfort that we are not alone?”
― Atmosphere

“When I ask you to stop making innovative art and start making vulnerable art, I am asking you to stop trying to make something new and start making something you. Your worldview, your emotions, your pain, your joy, your relationships, your noticings, your culture, your heritage, your ancestry, your fears, your desires, your trauma, your love. Your truth.”
― We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something
― We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something
“Under the subtle influence of the hare, my own wants have simplified. To be dependable in love and friendship more than in work. To leave the land in a more natural state than I found it. And to take better care of what is to hand, seeing beauty and value in the ordinary.”
― Raising Hare: A Memoir
― Raising Hare: A Memoir
“Perhaps the witch-hare’s true magic, I thought, is the wish she inspires, just for a moment, to step out of the human form. To race across the ground with the speed and power of a hare, without tiring; to inhabit its senses and revel in a world of sound, scent and sensation far greater than our own; and to move through the night as effortlessly as if through sunlight.”
