Shadows and Dust Folklore

Regular dirt turner who found out how much wonder is buried in the supposedly mundane and never looked back.
The narrative power of Bad Bunny performing the super bowl is thick.

Presented as a celebration of multiculturalism, but in a core of American hegemony and based in American imperialism responding to Spanish imperialism. And an alternative show running opposite. It's a live-action liminal space.

I treat Rachel Carson's affirmation "in nature, nothing exists alone" in roughly the way TEDTalkers use "may you live in interesting times"

The air smells different today. The wind is cold and will be until the last snow is off the far hills but the air is fresher now and I’m thinking about starting garden clean up.

Knowing forests, it's interesting to read old stories and know a quiet forest opening isn't setting up a twist, it's the warning something was wrong all along. Forests are so rarely quiet.

Unless there's snow. For my money London's "To Build a Fire" is scarier than anything Poe ever put down.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
