SunBlinked is a collection of short essays about the moments we almost overlook.
The essays begin with ordinary things: a season, a memory, a conversation, a book, a walk, an unexpected question, and follow them wherever they lead. Along the way, they explore time, curiosity, family, nature, learning and the slight rhythms that shape our lives, often without our noticing.
SunBlinked began after I experienced a total solar eclipse. For a few extraordinary minutes, the familiar world felt entirely new. I've been chasing that feeling ever since, not necessarily by waiting for another eclipse, but by paying closer attention to ordinary days.
The name SunBlinked comes from a simple idea: sometimes it only takes a brief pause to see the familiar differently. Like stepping into bright sunlight, the world can change in an instant, not because it is different, but because we're paying closer attention.
These essays aren't meant to provide answers as much as companionship in asking better questions. If one leaves you looking at an ordinary day with fresh eyes, then it has done its job.
I hope you find something extraodinary in what you once saw as simply ordinary.
