May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.
Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing you as no one ever has,
streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.

How did trees evolve in so many extraordinary ways, and completely reshape the planet too? "using fire as a reproductive tool, harnessing large mammals to spread their seeds (but poisoning ... less useful mammals), & splitting rock to create fertile ground in barren landscapes"

I’ve finished all 3 books. What an incredible journey. If you have not read these books yet, I do implore you to do so. As soon as possible. 5/5 without a doubt. 📚💙
I’ve started Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb, and so far I absolutely love it. This is my first book by her. If you have any suggestions for the reading order of her other books, please let me know! It seems I’ve just begun an epic adventure…📚💙

Last of Charles Dickens's Christmas novellas, The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain (1848) features the gift of forgetting, but in the end we discover it's the gift of remembering that we ought to cherish.

If you like a writer's work, tell them! Email, LinkedIn message, DM, even in person at an event. It can make a huge difference in their lives, especially right now with declining freelance budgets, layoffs, stagnant salaries, the threat of AI, and dwindling book advances.
