Here listening to the universe a moment. Quaker Ridge, Maine.

Scenic view, fall in Maine. A reddened field in the foreground, trees turning color as far as one can see.

This is my Mémère, who was born just this side of a border footbridge and grew up speaking only French in Brunswick, Maine. She often told me I could do anything I put my mind to.

Oh. Wendell Berry. Passed away yesterday.

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
And I wake in the night at the least sound
In fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood dark
Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
Who do not tax their lives with forethought
Of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me day-blind stars
Waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Thinking rock. The fixed point that stays while everything changes, and everything changes, even the rock.

a mossy rock jutting from a lake, it is split open, a large chunk falling aside. The water looks shallow, and there are more rocks. The woods and the lake. A breeze.

Bob Dunning Memorial Bridge Bridgton, ME

Wintry view from inside a bridge crafted from local wood. Its sides look like the inside of a wine barrel. Beams of gorgeous raw edged wood stretch overhead. Snow and trees behind.

Already Sunset, Thanksgiving. Fayette, Maine, USA.

Dusk over a calm Maine lake. Just a little bit of color in the sky, just a few ripples on the water.

I like our family’s thanksgiving stuffing. Orange cranberry cinnamon, bright, tart

Bowl of citrusy stuffing. Bright red cranberries, big chunks of cinnamony bread.

A gray day. On the Quaker Ridge Road, Maine

Cloudy view of mist-covered mountains. Late fall. The grass has had it for the year in the foreground. Everything damp and dull.

On Quaker Ridge to say goodbye to a friend.

View from a hill in Maine. Green meadow, rolling hills behind. Haloed sun shining over the woods I love.

You are appreciated, friend. I admire your courage and insight and effort. Take care. 💚

Come up, come up, wherever you are.

Green shoots of leaves sprouting up from dark mulch. I don’t know what sort of plant this is, but the leaves have thin stripes and unfurl from lovely tight curls into bright young whirls of life.

Sky is doing some magic tonight. Windham, ME

This sunset is under lit fire orange clouds with two dark plumes of clouds rising above. I think it looks a little demonic, but maybe that says more about me than the image. Beautiful.

There is Spring here now It sounds so alive

Now I think I have it right and it’s less like an umbrella and more like a tulip.

Maranacook Lake boat launch, Readfield Maine.

Lake and forest under a blue sky. There’s a light breeze, so the water isn’t glass. A few little trails from airplanes mix in with a few wispy clouds above.

I discovered the tulips coming up in little clusters through the Chaos.

Commute was beautiful this morning. Now, desk, cream walls, unnatural light. This daily effort to keep my health insurance is absolutely bad for my health.

Looking through a snowy woods at a road, morning light, partly cloudy sky filtering in through the branches.
