Lineage & Transmission
The Watch has opened doors to intimate conversations I could not have imagined, there is so much we couldn’t have known about each other! And in all the infinite variations of detail, a recognition of shared human experience. Even within my most familiar relationships, there are surprises. My son Sam’s recent post, “On Becoming Our Parents” helped me coalesce some thoughts I’d been having about lineage.

On Becoming Our Parents
“This is what I love most about writing: not trying to convince others of anything or preach absolute truths, just giving a glimpse into our unique vantage point, thoughts, and experiences. In this way, we leave a few breadcrumbs that might be of value to others on their own journey.
In a world that seems to be shifting increasingly toward artificial abstractions, it’s human stories and personal reflections like The Watch that feel most alive to me.”
– Sam Sager
