Trista Hill: Sense of Place
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2011/10/sense-of-place.html
Tuesday, October 04, 2011. One thing I love about staying in five different places in one week is discovering how the morning sun shines in. For as long as I can remember, my first step in visiting anywhere new was to venture out and explore the territory. Place is everything to me - where am I? What is around me? Where am I in it? We moved to Ohio from Colorado, where I never found any quicksand, either. It's where I've spent the past five or so days and yesterday, Deborah Henson-Conant. Even your thoug...

Scavenger Hunt Swap: Update
http://knittersscavengerhunt.blogspot.com/2008/05/update.html
A swap for those who knit or crochet! Sunday, May 18, 2008. Hi Everyone - I have not dropped off the planet, life has been busy and I have unfortunately locked myself out of my hostess email address by forgetting the password (yes, that is my state of mind these days! Since my school has wrapped up and I have 2 weeks before I have to travel again for work, I do hope to get this all closed out soon. Apologies for the delay on the last two packages :(.

Trista Hill: Inviting the Yeti
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2014/01/inviting-yeti.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. In this blustery, coldest, whitest January in years, people are hunkering down. The young are celebrating school-closings due to blanching subzero temperatures, and the older often call for a 'break" in addition to the one life just recently and unexpectedly handed them. It's a time for streamlining food intake, monetary outflow, objects in the environment. Roadway snow piles, calendar commitments, shoddy didn't-fit compromises. But we forgot about the Yeti. All grows very very ...

Trista Hill: The Thing Behind the Thing
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2013/02/swipe-grime-from-kitchen-light-fixture.html
Friday, February 01, 2013. The Thing Behind the Thing. Swipe grime from the kitchen light and wrestle the fixture into ceiling-grip submission. Flavor the quinoa. Turn on the radio. No, not that jangly shit. Insert the dissonant strings and half diminished sevenths. I need to be met first. Dreamt of having what is here now. Behind it, the ache for freedom. It snuck in, when? This bird-cat in an open-wire-door prison paralysis. What is the thing behind the thing? What is the thing behind the thing? The pa...

Trista Hill: Senses Placed
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2013/08/senses-placed.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. Can I help you? A woman's voice called out from behind the row of bushes separating the gravel road that ran parallel to her driveway. Um, yes. I think." Clearing throat, choking back tears. I mean. I used to live here.". Wide-eyed holding-breath slow-motion movement. An invitation to come over, walk in. And then, now, I am in the place I spent my first five years of life. Home. As if I had never left. Pink flowers in a dusty green stripe! Slowly climbing, protective hovering, de...

Trista Hill: Passion and Religion
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2013/03/passion-and-religion.html
Sunday, March 31, 2013. I don’t subscribe to a certain religion, but as a harpist, I often play for several types of churches. Especially around Christmas and Easter. I’m a part of the sea of white faces, or the only pale face in a darker-skinned crowd. I play music as it exists on the page, or improvise according to what moves me and others, responding musically in the moment, watching and listening. That last part isn’t a judgement: Guilt is just. there. Watching others be so present and aligned that p...

Trista Hill: Dear Creative Work
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2011/09/dear-creative-work.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. You have me up late and early. What day is it? It's because of you that I both lose track of time and am more than painfully aware of it. I am sitting sitting sitting thinking thinking thinking and Steve Winwood and Andrew Bird are singing at high volume. Wait, here it is, the back end, the fire, incinerating the excess so I can spiral UP. I am hungry in different ways, but still think in Food. More chocolate? We can only say the simplest things by pushing out the mess first&#...

Trista Hill: Procrastination as Punishment
http://tristahill.blogspot.com/2012/06/procrastination-as-punishment-and-other.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. So, we'll just jump in - what if your fear isn’t completely about failure or rejection? What if this “holding back” thing is only partially. About recoiling from having to feel bad/unwanted/stupid/insane? What if you are procrastinating because you don’t believe you actually deserve the incredibleness you’re on the precipice of experiencing? What if your procrastination pause is a form of systematic self-induced punishment. Withhold the good stuff from yourself? Get notified of ...
