Goodbye Summer. Hello Fall. Happy Equinox.


The other day I was thinking about how there really isn't any end or beginning to any of the seasons, they just bleed into one another in a near endless cycle. I find this way of looking at things more comforting than the rigidity of endings and beginnings. Life goes on and on in an ever circling loop of change and rebirth. When we die our energy feeds the energy of other living beings so that life continues. However, in our society, disconnected as we are from natural cycles, celebrating the solstices and equinoxes seems to be a good first step, so happy equinox!

Animism in the Anthropocene (a link to my school blog)

I am just going to post this here in case someone actually takes the time to look at this and is interested in seeing my blog for school this quarter. It's more focused than this one so I thought I'd share it.

Father Death (reprise)

I have posted this before, but I felt  it was worth reposting with all that is going on in the world. The point isn't to appoint someone as the scapegoat for all the evil taking place in the world, but rather to ask how our culture got to a place where it could be so ill that it could manifest itself in such madness and then deem the fruits of that madness king? No one in our culture is free from this sickness, there are just those of us who can see it, and those of us who can't.

Remember, they can only kill each of us once.

And one more because we need to again speak with the twists and turns of metaphor if we ever hope to survive all of this. Speak out of the side of your mouth, so those who are watching you can't quite catch your meaning.
