Nature is all and all is Nature. We all live here on this watery sphere. We need each other now.

I'm happy not to be traveling this Thanksgiving. We are under a blizzard warning with significant snowfall here near Lake Superior's south shore in Wisconsin.

We finally got the weather we should be having this time of year. Snow! Wind! Freezing temperatures! I don't want to hear one complaint from any Minnesotan about it. Snow has stopped now and will probably be gone in a few days at the most unless Nature offers us a heavier blanket for winter.

'People are still haunted by what happened': How history's brutal witch trials still resonate now
A new book How to Kill a Witch brings a dark period of history back to grisly life – and an official tartan is being released to memorialise some of those who were tortured and killed.

We have allowed superstition to become a word loaded with negative judgements. Is someone who believes in the ghosts of felled trees, the persistence of Wood Sprites and their revenges against the axe superstitious? Yes, but this should not be assumed as a bad thing. – Dr. M. Benn #FolkloreSunday

The central stone circle of the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The stones were erected some 5000 years ago and form part of a wonderful megalithic landscape, with several other stone circles nearby.

Those solitary stones that keep silent watch, that persist across the rise and fall of our own petty kingdoms, are storytellers. When we learn the language of the Long Neolithic they speak across time. It is beholden on us to listen. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

A sunny 🌞 start here this morning compared to yesterday. A few pics from a sunny but cold afternoon walk, these trees are still holding onto their golden leaves.

I'm reading The First Emancipator: The Forgotten Story of Robert Carter, the Founding Father Who Freed His Slaves by Andrew Levy (NY: Random House, 2005). Neighbor and friend of famed Virginian Founders, he was able to do what they believed could not be done. He freed almost 500 people in his life.
