Cold fire
The light of the moon
is the flame which consumes
the human façade
until all that is left
is the wolf
that’s been waiting within.
An alternate timeline
I’m glad the human-wolf partnership worked out so well.

Instinct and will
“Do not abandon yourself altogether either to instinct or to will. Instinct is a siren, will a despot. Be neither the slave of your impulses and sensations of the moment, nor of an abstract and general plan; be open to what life brings from within and without, and welcome the unforeseen; but give to your life unity, and bring the unforeseen within the lines of your plan.”
~ Henri-Frédéric Amiel

How I spent my full moon Hallowe’en
Our fire department hosted a drive-through Hallowe’en.

I wave to rovers!
My first – and last – visit to Rudy’s for the 2020 season
My last, because they closed for the season today. I’m grateful they were able to operate under the coronavirus restrictions.
Hurting yourself? Don’t.
Hurting yourself seems so redundant in a world fraught with opportunities intended to hurt you, or just hurting you casually, as incidental damage.
