"If it is a question that can never be answered, it is still the question we must keep asking, if only in order to understand that life is never binary, nor reducible to cant or code, but a mystery we at best apprehend."

One of the hummingbird sages I planted is still alive and in bloom. Small joys.

Making me happy today is my dad cuddling on the couch with Maggie, while reading The Luminous Dead.

Making me happy right now: California poppies and buckwheat.

As we continue to watch universities cave to authoritarianism, remember how often this has been the case. Universities are rarely left-leaning institutions.

Of course, it is the Musk-Trump regime ... and it's also 50+ years in the making.

Meet Maggie MacGuire, aka Maggie Many Farts.

She was picked up as a stray, so we don’t know too much about her history. She’s between 2 and 3 years old, has just learned “sit,” & eats her food in 2 seconds flat.

She’s funny and adorbs and has a possible autoimmune disease.

Love at first sight

Ack! It’s already March 4th … she says two minutes after saying how long this year has been already.

Anyway … late on posting my February reads 💙📚

Blood Over Bright Haven, The Undertow, Ancestral Night, and Bloom were all outstanding.
