Foggy mountain dawn.
I'm thankful for the tranquility
it brings to my soul.

The super full moon this morning looked tiny in the phone picture but my eyes could see it larger with all its details. It looked so beautiful framed by the red autumn maple tree at its peak color outside my balcony porch.

Come with me
into the field of sunflowers.
Their faces are all turned toward the sun,
they are holding it in their thin arms.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
