For my first post, here's the best picture I've ever taken when this cub went under my car. What's the opposite of doll's eyes?

Hi, I’m God.

My son fed 5,000 people for free. I guess that makes him a socialist.
I could not describe the state
of my heart in words,
And they never understood
what my silence meant.

Out where the handclasp's a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That's where the West begins;

STILL and calm,
In purple robes of kings,
The low-lying mountains sleep at the edge of the world,

In my darkest night,
when the moon was covered
and I roamed through wreckage,
a nimbus-clouded voice
directed me:
"Live in the layers,
not on the litter."
-from The Layers by Stanley Kunitz

while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Yes, grew up in Cold War, 9/11 happened in grad school, then total economic collapse. Then my kids lived through COVID in middle school. You just keep your head down and carry on. Find the things that bring you joy, find your people that help carry your burdens, and do your best. No time for toxic.
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods.
-Rudyard Kipling

chirps
crickets
the pleasant but irregular blowing of the wind
fireflies dancing in step with the light of the moon
how strange it is to become aware of another's heartbeat but forget one's own

And then the day came,

when the risk

to remain tight

in a bud

was more painful

than the risk

it took

to blossom.

Excited that there will SOMETHING out there to fill the Lower Decks sized hole that seems to get it. How much control/input do you have/want @markmcmahon.bsky.social ?
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Trying to approach 2025 the way St. Margaret is approaching Beelzebub
This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss...

I'll check my local used book stores over the next few weeks for those ENT books, if I find them I'll be happy to send them. They're usually under $1, so happy to cover the cost as well. I'll DM if/when I have any success.
