Hello, kindred spirit.

Welcome to Of Permanent Things, where I write about what I see as the most important, permanent things of life. I want to read, think, and write deeply about what will last, not what is current or popular now. Here you’ll find essays on what I’m reading/thinking about currently, motherhood, friendship, and great literature. I want to connect with you over what it means to be truly human.
Keep seeking the virtuous and the lovely,
-Shannon
It’s not a letter in your mailbox. But its the next-best thing.
Truly I wish these little essays could be wrapped up in beautiful paper, sealed with a gorgeous wax seal, and delivered directly to your front door. But until then…this will have to do. ;)
