Majorelle Garden, Marrakesh, Morocco

I’m excited to announce that my blog post, A Call to Prayer: Morocco, was recently published online in Wanderlust: A Travel Journal.

During my trip to Morocco, I was struck by the religious imperative to pray five times a day. Of course, I had no idea that two years after this trip, many of us would be sheltering-in-place with multiple opportunities to pause and consider how our lives are inextricably connected. On the other side of the coronavirus pandemic–whatever that looks like–one thing is clear: we will never be the same.

If we pause to prayer, to dream, to imagine, perhaps we can repair the broken and create a world that is compassionate and just. A world of peace and plenty for all.

I also invite you to read my most recent blog post, Introverts Have the Edge: A Virus Teaches Us How to Spend Time Alone and my National Indie Excellence award-winning novel, Thin Places.

Wishing you all safe travels at home.
