Here is today's blog post, a new happy snapshot, the first in weeks, featuring a picture I took of the Roman Theatre in Orange, France and my emotions hidden within.

I've been tinkering around with an essay on Great Auks, and it wasn't quite working. Today I added some religious history, and now it's flowing much better. #AmWriting #essay #CNF

"...everything in me compressed fit to burst, fit to go nuclear, fit to finally, and for the first time to let my reality explode so someone else would have to feel it."

The Lost Boy, is a short personal #cnf essay, by a #MaleSurvivor of #ChildhoodAbuse. It's the kind of thing we would love to publish in #ExistOtherwise #LitJournal.
I’m linking to it here as a favor to someone to help bring attention to The MenHealing Blog.

My family has a lot of physical objects that are important to them. They're different from "heirlooms," (like jewelry or Bibles) in that they're relatively ordinary, and may or may not be passed along to anyone. What they have in common is that they connect to a story or a person. A handful that come to mind:
- Great-grandpa's '49 Willys
- Grandpa's briefcase
- the tree trunk with the crank
- the gong beds
What are your sacred objects? What are their stories?

I preordered Robin Wall Kimmerer's new book "The Serviceberry" ages ago and forgot all about it. What a nice surprise to find on my doorstep. "Braiding Sweetgrass" is one of my all-time favourite books, so I look forward to digging into this one. @indigenousauthors #TwoEyedSeeing #Ecology #CNF #Indigenous #science #RobinWallKimmerer #ServiceBerry #Bookstodon #botany
