Take it as an invitation to walk the land today, as on all the other days.

"Each day brings a new demand and a new hope, with its possible disappointments. The land demands to be brought anew under the step of knowing, of trying, of being."

Why do you walk, what does it mean to you? (More below.)
In the past year, I've walked more than ever. In time, I became aware that it's actually a foundational mechanic in almost every game I've played! What would it mean to no longer take walking, and its transformational prerogative, for granted?
Feat. Eastward, Death Stranding and Kant.

The magic of winter ❄️

Hoar frost covers this old birch beside a small lochen deep in the Scottish wilderness.

Enfeebled body
Rest here, I will console you;

Field of vision contracted -
Gaze yearns out: night sky.

The revival of the Klamath River & its watershed over the past 14 months—after the completion of the biggest dam-removal project in US history—is one the most hopeful stories I know in our hope-stripped age.
