Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse

Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods.
The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs.
Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love.
Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies.
Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know.
Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Sorry, I just started being on Bluesky, and I didn't know how to navigate. You should check out Club Cranium.

Here's a cool mushroom I saw hiking up Mt. Elbert in Colorado. I was hiking, not the mushroom.

Do you mean the hag moth larva? Southwestern Pennsylvania. If you mean that goofy graphic, that's Club Cranium on Facebook. They've got crazy videos!

I found this creepy guy, a Phobetron pithecium or hag moth, on our pink dogwood. I thought it looked like a dried bit of fern, but when I poked it, it MOVED.
