Bloom or unbloom There would be a picture of a lettuce seedling here but the new default seems to be to let artificially intelligent create one, so… It’s been about two weeks since I tried to write something that could be said to be for a wider audience, however small. That was about the time…… Continue reading Where Is Home

Silent Bunny
In the woods, hoping the earth will be saved How to begin. Always a question, now made more difficult by everything that has happened. So many words written about so many awful actions, people, events, kidnappings, murders. A list of unthinkable acts, and listing them is the banality of evil at its best. Or the…… Continue reading Silent Bunny
Protesting, Week 21 – or Venture Rewilding
the opposite of mowing down Saturday, I drove past the protesters, honking and waving. There are still quite a few people, there are new signs to match the new indignities that we are being dragged through. Waving as you drive by takes almost no effort, yet it still felt good. I am in the midst…… Continue reading Protesting, Week 21 – or Venture Rewilding
Protesting, Week 19 – or Ocean Depths

It’s a beautiful day, cloudy, the trees nearly at their fullness, the spring green beginning to change to summer green, darker, more muscular, powerful. The fields are plowed and planted. The older people…… Continue reading The Garden of Eden, Working Backwards

On Being Alone During the Holidays
What image, mental or photographic, brings up the feeling of exclusion and loneliness? At the holidays, you have so many choices for this trigger. Yesterday, I went to the local Target. All these big stores are starting to feel like half-empty warehouses. I looked at the coffee maker I was thinking of buying. It was…… Continue reading On Being Alone During the Holidays
Plastic Rosary
Another holiday. It’s been a long time since the last blog post. Is that even what they are called anymore? Time seems to have changed again since the new year. New Year! A few years ago, I mean weeks, we celebrated. Then the wheel turned, and we were thrown into the everyday. January lasted for…… Continue reading Plastic Rosary
