Picnic at a pond, and today’s the first time the sun has been out for weeks. The water was so cold I could barely breathe. I went in, and got out, and I went in again, because it was so cold, and because it’s so good to be alive.
Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old. In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.
