"I think rangers are no different than any other thing in the forest. They're meant to be with others."
She turned and looked below as the man walked beneath them.
"Why do you say that? He lives alone."
"Because he's always looking for something he never finds."

I think it’s time to go on a bit of a walkabout.
See you at the turning of the tides.

The age of heroes began in a building darkness.
For back then, there were no heroes.
And cowards prevailed.

In life, rarely do we get a chance to see the full measure of things made right.
Rarely do the accounts of debts owed become paid in full.
Rarely do our memories leave us to our moments of happy discovery.
Yet we wake.
Yet we rise.
And wonder.
In defiance of it all.

Often times when you’ve told the world the stories of your heart—when you’ve shared the hardest moments of your life—you find the quiet that follows so very vast.
And it’s hard to learn to listen again.
So watch for the small stories.
The mouse sneaking about.
The air dancing between the leaves.
And it’s hard to learn to listen again.
So watch for the small stories.
The mouse sneaking about.
The air dancing between the leaves.

“How do you tell the world
All those things you want to say
How do you ask a girl
If she likes the way you play
And how do you tell the world
You’re having trouble finding your place
And how do you ask a girl
If she’d would want to say”

Matt Hansen sounds a like a better Luke Bryant when he sings a verse and a whole lot like Louis Capaldi when he belts a chorus.
And it works.

I would totally binge watch a show about a quirky town with funny witty characters getting into all sorts of low key funny dramas and personal relationship quandaries and oh my god I’m a grown ass man craving a Gilmore Girls marathon.

When I think on the passing of time, I think about those early days of man.
When someone began to sing a sound beneath the stars.
And others heard it and the first chorus began.
Songs have that effect on us still, passing a thread through all the starlit shadows.

I think one of the most telling things about the MAGA movement is that there’s no music to what they do.
They just steal the songs from others.
Where there is goodness
music follows.

It would be cool to have a curated news page on Bluesky, but instead of comparing competing articles from CNN and whoever else it clustered independent substacks so in a single run you could hear from several legit voices in multiple spheres on a single issue.
And then it also paid them for it.

You can learn a lot from grasshoppers.
Like it’s cool to sit super still and camouflaged then suddenly fly at people’s mouths making clicky sounds.

It’s at this point in my life I’m kinda tired of people who steal joy from others.
Life is unfair and brutal and unkind and every once in a while we find something that makes our heart laugh.
Why take from that?
Let joy hum in peoples hearts.
And if you feel the need to take from that fuck off.

“We live in a dying age, longing for what we will never find.”
“Feeling a bit rosey this morning?”
The old shewolf sat beside him, leaning in to her mate.
“Something like that. Some mornings I rise, wishing for the old days.”
“Me too, my love. Me too.”
And they sat in stillness as morning came.
