In the City of Shy Hunters- Tom Spanbauer
"Whether you fight it, cop an attitude, fuck it, or fall in love with it, you're still going to die. We're all just in our bodies for a moment in our life. Such a brave and lovely act it is to let the body celebrate."

Berlin Week one.
Changing up this account for the next month. Normally, it's dedicated to my favorite author and spiritual father, Tom Spanbauer. However, I'm on vacation in Berlin for a month (and rereading Shy Hunters for the Xth time), so there will be a lot of Berlin stuff for the next few weeks.
