Writing the Rails.
Santa Fe edition.
Year two.
60 folks itching to write.
Sold-out train car.
A sunset train ride
with live music & a cash bar.
What’s not to like?
What a way to kick off a festival weekend?
Come write’n ride with us next year!
Tucson Poet Laureate @dirtyverbs said he’d comeback next year, if you will. What d’ya say? 🙏🏾

Match point for the Silver Bracket Final at the Varsity Boys Volleyball State Tournament yesterday! Bellamy for the win! And he wears my number 12! (My jersey number for High School and College later became 7, but was 12 growing up, for the most part, playing little league soccer, basketball and baseball)
Congrats to the coaches and the players. Grateful for one more ride! 🏐 And ending on a good note. 💚
The boys were all smiles. ❤️

I saw something the other day that made me stop.
One of our attorneys pulled their chair next to their client and sat beside them — instead of across the table.
Nothing dramatic. No big moment.
But it changed the entire feel of the room.
It didn't feel like questioning. It didn't feel like evaluation.
It felt like: we're in this together.
They worked side-by-side on discovery for hours.
At one point, they shared a snack. 🥪
In high-stakes legal situations — when someone is scared, overwhelmed, or harmed by systems — that shift matters.
The difference between being managed and being accompanied is not small.
It's regulatory. It's relational. It's human.
As the in-house clinical consultant at Max Pines Law, I pay attention to moments like this.
Because people don't just experience the outcome of a case — they experience the process of being in it.
Sometimes the most important move isn't strategy.
It's where you sit. 🌵

As my wife said…it’s not just about the curiosity and discipline it takes to learn a language (which many Americans seem to have a phobia of…👀), it is about the ability to connect with the world. The practice of understanding that you are not the center of the universe. The world immediately becomes bigger when you become more fluent in humanity and the myriad of languages (read: relationships) that make up our collective humanity. I travel. However, in wanting better for my son I aspired to do more than buy him trips/travel … I aspired for him to be a global citizen. A citizen of the world, and his ticket is his bilingual education. More things to see and experience. More places to go and be. More people to love and meet. Grateful to all his educators along the way at Christina Kent Early Childhood Center, Cien Aguas International School and Albuquerque High School for being patient with him and his families, especially because we don’t speak Spanish at home. Exceptionally grateful to the visionaries at @dual_language_education_of_nm for advocating for, building and staffing educational spaces like these for parents like me. Muchisimas Gracias. Tanto amor. 🙏🏾

Impossibly proud of this young man.
We started our dual language education at Christina Kent Early Childhood Center. Then on to Cien Aguas International School. And now, completing both the New Mexico State and Albuquerque Public Schools Bilingual Seal of Distinction. He also earned the Global Bilingual Literacy Certificate (Silver). He’s so much smarter than his old man. Grateful for all the villagers who poured into him. I knew we were on to something when he’d come home from school telling me he was taking math (class) IN SPANISH! I was like… I definitely cannot help you with your math homework… not even in English. 😅 #BilingualScholar #SeniorYear #GraciasATodos #Blessed 🙏🏾
