It’s a shame that the best time of year is so short-lived up north. Blink and you’ll miss it. Soaking it in until last light.

Wrote some things. Had pumpkin pie with whipped cream for breakfast. I can do multiple things with my feelings.

Repost from @westernwatersheds • In “The Peace of Wild Things,” poet and conservationist, Wendell Berry gave words to the solace we find in places beyond human noise and well, despair. That peace lives in rivers, grasslands, forests, deserts, and the wildlife that depend on them. (Cont'd)

In an attempt to recreate the same kind of joy I felt in 2004 at a small-venue Alexisonfire show, I end up places like this:
Sunlit view of a large waterfall cascading down a canyon into a sparkling river, framed by coniferous trees and distant Rocky Mountain peaks under a bright sky.

There is a bat echolocating above my backyard. I’m going to pretend it is not there, the same way I pretend I don’t believe in ghosts, so they’re less motivated to get me.

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

I’m also just a Canadian woman, standing in front of an American slush pile, changing my “re’s” to “er’s,” asking them to love her.
