Good Company

Walking through the snowy field
the day after
I walked through the snowy field,

I step next to my first set of prints
so anyone who cares to can see
I was never alone.

Ryan Vine's new book, "The Cave," is marvelous...

...including this little gem that parses the line between solitude & merely being alone ❀️ @ryanvine.bsky.social

Tawny owl

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking β€œSo when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧡

But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm.

Hey, Sam! Good to hear from you, man. Hope all's well where you are (I mean, as well as can be).

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

Jesus got up one day a little later than usual. He had been dreaming so deep there was nothing left in his head. What was it? A nightmare, dead bodies walking all around him, eyes rolled back, skin falling off. But he wasn’t afraid of that. It was a beautiful day. How ’bout some coffee? Don’t mind if I do. Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey. Hell, I love everybody.

We celebrate this Easter Sunday with a reading from the Gospel according to James Tate.

Pretty sure they’re following me. Maybe they know something I don’t?
