Welcome to Honeycomb

A dose of inspiration for burnt-out & yearning creative hearts — Honeycomb is where the day-to-day of creative living starts to taste a little sweeter.

honeycomb served up fresh in Guatemala, 2022.

Here, we believe in:

🐝 Pleasure and play as an act of rebellion.

🐝 A light touch and agile perspective—everything is sacred and yet nothing is precious.

🐝 Being almost too earnest for the internet.

🐝 Taking the scenic route. 

🐝 Delight! Delight! Delight!

We are devoted to:

🌷 Taking our desires seriously.

🌷 Paying close attention. Being astonished. Then telling about it. 

🌷 Orienting ourselves towards beauty.

🌷 Seeking and telling the truth as best we can.

🌷 Delight! Delight! Delight!

Why a weekly newsletter? 

“I used to think truth was eternal, that once I knew, once I saw, it would be with me forever, a constant by which everything else could be measured.

I know now that this isn't so, that most truths are inherently unretainable, that we have to work hard all our lives to remember the most basic things.” —Lucy Grealy 

Honeycomb is here to help me remember my own most basic truth: that life should center pleasure and curiosity and connection. These values are my discipline, my vocation. 

Ultimately, I believe that more of our time should be spent in delight. And so I choose to center awe, joy, and creative practice, even if that means stealing just a few minutes to pick some flowers, make a hearty soup from scratch, or write a poem about the sunset.

Here’s to giving ourselves permission to seek joy and delight, to chasing our heart’s desires with wild abandon.
