"Once there was a child walking alone. The child sees no woods, so he creates them seed by seed. He meets a wolf &, because he loves all life, he protects her. Because she is lost, she follows him.
But the wolf was not born in the woods. The wolf was not always lost."

A reading roundup for October 2025. 📚💙
I read EVERY DARK CLOUD by @marisca.bsky.social in one sitting, at a nature park in Vermont. A really lovely novella.
THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS was an effort to read something unusual for me, and it was a pretty fun time. Not my favorite but a good change of pace.
