The Voyage
Between the world they left and the world they hoped to reach, the ocean became their first great test.
Time to remember we are not separate from the people who came before us. We are the living embodiment of what they carried forward.
— M.E. Kapla
My First Book
Remembrance: When Was the Last Time You Felt History?
Some things cannot be understood until we are ready to see them.
The stories in this book are an invitation to observe, to remember, and to discover what becomes visible when history is no longer someone else's story.
This is not history as distant information. It is history as inheritance.
Remembrance is the beginning of a continuing body of work. The Library on this site will grow over time from that same spirit of honest memory. The work continues.
The ongoing collections — published weekly.

Across the Atlantic
They crossed an ocean for a future they would never fully see.
The World They Left Behind
The American story began long before America existed.
New writing arrives every week. Come back when you want to think about something slowly.

Since June 2012, Mark has operated Magnet Rocks — a magnetic jewelry business inside the Daytona Flea & Farmers Market. The same principles that shaped Remembrance have guided every conversation at the booth: honesty, generosity, and the belief that every person deserves to be treated like family.
