I began my blog Cumulus over 10 years ago during a time of deep change. The past 10 years have seen that change take root, and now I feel it is time to move on to a new presence online. Cumulus will still be available if you want to take a look—there are LOTS of photos from the past 10 years, including travels in London and Istanbul, so check it out sometime, maybe.
This blog, Sumac Road, will be primarily a journal of my pursuit of a Certificate in English Language Training to Adults (or CELTA), followed by my experiences welcoming strangers to our land, getting to know them, and helping them establish a new home here. I expect it will be a journey full of challenges, surprises, and hopefully laughter amidst the grief of forced emigration. My ultimate goal is to use music and art and poetry to provide a place for newcomers to create their own beauty, to find themselves here, to share themselves with us in those places of fear, despair, hope, and joy.
