I pull them from books and movies and passing observations on morning walks. They help me create stories, articulate atmospheres, and make the intangible tangible.

I am the architect building LEGO(s) in his living room and the Jedi fighting tree branches in his backyard. I enjoy listening to the birds sing at sunrise and stealing a spoonful (or two) of cookie dough before it goes in the oven.

I love to listen to people tell their stories.

And, well, I haven’t heard yours yet...
