About

On an application for a vocational discernment retreat, I was asked:
What do you see yourself doing in five years?

I responded:
Sitting at a table across from someone, preferably by a window.

My name is mary pauline. I am twenty-one, I live in Seattle, and whoever I am I am very much her. I try to begin and end with questions. I think life is an experiment, and I am writing along the way about the strangers and ideas I encounter. Maybe it doesn’t always come out too well as prose goes (it’s messy, it’s colloquial, it doesn’t flow), but however it comes out I hope it comes out Good.
