A Gentle Landing is a publication that offers centering poetic ponderings for restless dreamers. The desire for “a gentle landing” points to the need to reshape our ethic of care and our understanding of vocation to include elements of life beyond production.
Theologically educated, trauma-sensitive, and artistically minded, Rose unpacks these themes in ways that honor the subtle and ordinary moves toward liberation found in daily acts of survival.

from permission to linger: on being (a) tender
“A brokenness was beaten into you. This is a tenderness, too.
Some of us have grown up to be hardened, we have spent our tending energies on creating shells to keep out all the bad. Sometimes the risk of getting hurt means we also keep the good out as well.
Can we be tender together?"
from “a place for keeping:” writing as a practice of care
“I write to believe (in) myself and to affirm what is real for me, even if I am the only one experiencing it in the places I live and work.
But I do not write in isolation, I can write in and into a community of belonging and becoming.
I have been creating ‘a place for keeping,’ for myself and others. A place where belonging can be experienced in a way that affirms that we are real and the more equitable world we desire is realizable.”
