I have been sitting on a pile of smoldering rage since receiving this 2 weeks ago. I feel impotent and small and unequal to any task of public resistance beyond my continued existence and choice to not cross the border.

"Unfair system." Doesn't go anywhere near far enough.

This quote is going to stick with me a long time:

However you frame yourself as an artist, the frame is too small.

- Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Excellent read for any creative, beautifully explored.

Started making set lists before my back seized up a week ago today. Recovering slowly but surely.

There's a free Bandcamp listening party today at noon EDT where you can hear these songs and more. Join the chat 30mins early! I'll be there.

Not sure if I'm the monster or the rowboat. MAYBE BOTH.

Saying goodbye to Stratford for a while. My last walk downtown before I head to the US this weekend. Winter skies & crow flight are my delight ❄️ #winterjoys #winterjourneys #crowsky

Finally - after years of knowing I needed one, and not being able to afford it (and I still can't afford it but) - I got myself a Fishman amp.

Little 3"x5" moon pouch from Gentle Rain in Stratford made by Colibri Canada. Every time I go in I get another one - so far I have moons, planets, mushrooms, mermaids & bears

When I found a flamingo in my colouring book with a suggestion on how to colour it, I flatly refused and wrote things like WHY SO MUCH PINK and PINK IS THE WORST in all my pink markers because a) I don't like flamingos b) pink is the worst.

Decorating my winter altar. I observe the winter solstice. It's my favourite time of the year: stillness in the darkness with snow and cold and muffling and sweaters and soup and fuzzy animals. Summer is DEAD and winter is wonderful. THE BEST.

My owl tree. Every time I find or buy or am gifted an owl I add it to the tree.

Sunrise this morning, from my hotel in Kalamazoo MI where I waited out the snow storm the last couple days. I rarely see the sunrise. It painted the room orange. Then I drove clear roads under clear & cloudy skies all the way home to Canada.

AXOLOTL! Had to make a last minute travel change because of the snowstorm and landed in Kalamazoo. Drove through WI, IL, IN & MI today and stopped at GeoScape Rock Shop on the way. Found tiny axolotls, owl, and lovely stones to take home.
