@thelatechallenge.bsky.social Here's a new one for the crisp challenge. What's the Japanese equivalent of a tory crisp?

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

You can lead a horse to water but you can't climb a ladder with a bell in both hands

A man rakes leaves into
a heap in his yard, a pile,
& leans on his rake &
burns them utterly.
The fragrance fills the forest
children pause & heed the
smell, which will become
nostalgia in several years

I think we've been down here in the dark long enough. There's a whole other world upstairs. Take my hand and I'll be happy to lead you back into the sunshine. I'm happy to go there because I believe most people are essentially good. I know that I am. It's you I'm not entirely sure of.
