Am really wondering if I should have spent the last 4 decades studying over 6,000 years of the wisdom teachings of humanity.

One thing I’ve learned in the woods is that there is no such thing as random. Everything is steeped in meaning, colored by relationships, one thing with another. 🖤

Despite the rain had the absolute privilege of following a barn owl as it hunted along the riverside meadow this morning. These kind of encounters really keep me from tipping into despair at the state of the world. Go outside everyone, despite our fuckwittery the world is still a beautiful place 💚

Until the weather improves, bird photography is off the table.
I hope no one minds me posting pics about #fountainpens, #ink, and #paper.
If you know this pen, we're already friends.

Some sons buy their dad a tie for the holidays.
My son? Gives me a replica of a Roman Centurion'S dagger.
I am fortunate. 🤘😊🤘

Have a happy Tuesday
Dont let mad people steal your joy
We can be concerned, act for reparation and justice
And still learn to live in our bodies maintaining calm rhythms
Calm your nervous system with breath✨️
You are held by something far greater than this one lost but very important world. Love🧡
