"If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything."
~ Alan Watts

A silver wolf with blue eyes in the pond of a waterfall at sunset.

Meet Amar.

She sings.

Melodies that soothe.
Shape.

Not all paths need force.
Some can be… opened.

Light dances when she moves.

But do not mistake grace for weakness.

There is always
an interlude.
A calm.
A melancholy.
A gentleness,
right before the
moment when
the night
sweeps the sun
under the horizon.

I’m honestly so ready for this weird chapter to end because genuinely all I want is to take care of myself again.

"Joy is the simplest form of gratitude."
~ Karl Barth

Hello my friends! I hope that your day has been bubbling with joy. I am enraptured in a sweet, eternal moment that is bursting with love and possibility. Were you able to get outside for a stroll today too? ❤️

I guess I’m kind of a sociopath because I just walked away from the news and . . . kind of finished my book today? To be sure, it has raggedy portions and needs much polishing, but — it’s a book! With a beginning, middle and an end. My 30th if anyone’s keeping score. (It’s me, I’m keeping score.)

A massive moss covered tree gripping the earth with ancient roots. It has a large hollow section that reminds me of the painting  'The Scream' Beyond the tree the forest protected by this big guy

The air has curdled & is thick with lunacy...the ancient ones scream

It took me about 45 minutes of walking around in the dark trying to find Abla to give her her evening meds, which means 2 excellent things:
1. She must be feeling pretty good if she’s gone looking for her sheep
2. I got to see this sky

So I quit teaching last May and I've been writing ever since. Just sold my first story. For actual money. Feels good.

“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”

A river does not force its way to the sea.

It does not worry about the rocks in its path.

It does not stop flowing
because the terrain gets difficult.

It simply moves.
It finds the path of least resistance,
and follows it.

Not because it is lazy.
But because it trusts the landscape to guide it.
