Feeling some awe about this. Every part of it: the content, the amount of work that has gone into it, AICRJ's acceptance of the proposal, and the incredible cover by Weshoyot Alvitre. The little book that could! The stories that would not be denied. The Ancestors who found ways to speak. Just AWE.

“A gift comes to you through no action of your own, free, having moved toward you without your beckoning. It is not a reward; you cannot earn it, or call it to you, or even deserve it. And yet it appears. Your only role is to be open-eyed and present.” - Robin Wall Kimmerer

This tiny person survived the night’s storms. Comes to the feeder not to drink, but to guard against other hummingbirds who might want to try moving in on perceived turf. Oh umunipsha! You with the heart of a fierce star.

Foggy sunset last night over River Song, bathing our house in gold. It was that kind of day, after a pretty rough week.

Okay, I'm back. I hear there are more writers here now...and that's partly why I'm here. How about Indigenous folks?

It’s here! And what an issue. Of course I’m thrilled to be chosen as a book club author, but this issue of Alta Journal is packed with amazing California indigenous and brown activists and artists. What a beautiful issue!

Margo added to our Susan Harb artwork (which came all the way from Lexington, VA with us). Now a squirrel is hanging off the side, eating the seeds, while Luci dog watches. Uncatchable squirrel = entertainment.

I am trying to meet two residency application deadlines but I've misplaced my computer glasses, and a huge bill just arrived (which I have been arguing with the insurance company about for six months). What is my advice for young writers today? TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES AND TEETH!!
