There’s a lot to those dots.

We are sensemaking creatures. We don’t just take what is given to us about this world through our senses. We challenge that information. We interrogate it. Expand upon it. Theorize about it. We think and feel and then we think and feel about those thoughts and feelings.

It’s complicated and messy and hard and innovative and taxing — but we all do it.

In the big moments. In the small ones. In the moments that don’t seem to matter to anyone but ourselves.

We try to figure out what is going on. What we need to do. And how all of that relates to who we are and our place in this world.

This site gathers people’s stories as they try to make sense of…everything.

Perhaps these stories will resonate with you. Perhaps they will speak to your own experiences.

Or perhaps these stories will illuminate an aspect of living and being and sensemaking through life that are new to you.

Please venture forth to find stories, and feel free to share your own.

Let’s make sense of life together.
