inside a dead tree
a colony of mushrooms
peppered with sawdust
even in this fog
the roadside farmstand still glows
with rows of pumpkins
a skeleton key
all that's left of grandpa's house
unlocks memories
midnight moonlit lane
dead leaves scuttling at my feet
alive once again
#haiku #HopePit

I'm very excited about this project! Please consider supporting it! The bold and tenacious spirit of John Brown lives in Torrington Connecticut! @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @repjahanahayes.bsky.social @wapjradio.bsky.social @ctjbgc.bsky.social @rijbgc.bsky.social
This is an opportunity for folks who are feeling helpless, horrified, and hobbled to speak through a larger platform than their Zuckbook page.
Think of it this way: if you’re too busy to make your own documentary film— you can be a part of ours.

Welcome to Cocaton: it's oddly familiar! My daughter Caroline painted the mural and I built a small town that is visited by aliens, has a lake beastie, and a Stonehenge on the mountain. It currently lives in my memory but someday - like Brigadoon - it will return... (Conrad+Caroline+town=Cocaton)

THIS IS THE DAY, by The The, is probably the most hopeful song I know. "This is the day, your life will surely change - this is the day, when things fall into place..." The whole album is solid. @hopepit.bsky.social
