the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Never actually talked to a parent. I know this post is about America. I don't fucking care. When the small one hit three and was finally eligible for the three-hours-a-day five-days-a-week 2/3 of the year government-funded playschool here in Ireland? I stopped slowly dying of exhaustion.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

I love talking about books with people but the problem is that I tell them I love books, and then they give me their favorite books, and then I panic because I add it to the growing pile of seventeen books others have lent me which I also have not yet read—

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

In New Mexico, former farmlands along the now-dry Rio Grande continue to divert water from acequias to vacant, non-productive land in order to retain their water rights. Not just *some* water—the amount of water they previously used when crops were being grown there. Wasted. To retain “rights.”

'Potential' for Nature Spirit Oracle. Tree Elemental with Magnolia. She holds a magnolia, in front of a twilight sky. Abstracted airy lines swoop upwards, representing potential. Her eyes are dark, but her expression is hopeful as she gazes at the magnolia, which glows slightly. Recolored slightly to have a more natural sky color.

Technically I finished my July Book of the Month, SONG OF THE HUNTRESS by Lucy Holland, on August 1st, but I’m counting it as July because that’s when I read the majority of it. Close runner up was THE CHILDREN OF GODS AND FIGHTING MEN, but apparently a book that makes me cry wins 🤷‍♂️ #booksky

Book of the month for July goes to SONG OF THE HUNTRESS. It will compete with my next august read to advance to the next tier.
