@ginnungagap People can take care of people ... great story to share

@lauraritchie Fruit O'Clock ... like that

@tellio Maybe.

“In the end the sea rejects its offspring. They cannot fight their way home through the surf which casts them repeatedly back upon the shore ... The sea-beach and its endless war are soundless. Nothing screams but the gulls.”

-- from Modern American Memoirs (edited by Annie Dillard and Cort Conley), excerpt by Loren Eiseley, page 419

#smallquotes

Along the path I often walk are small frog ponds that often go dry for much of the year. But we've had plenty of rain, so the ponds are brimming full. I glanced down to notice one of the frog areas looking golden brown in the sun, as if some discarded metals had leeched out rust. It was beautiful, really. A closer look revealed that what seemed like rust was instead multiple layers of dead leaves, last Autumn's forgotten dead painting the world in bronze. Yet not a frog in sight. #smallstories

Three dogs
yanking
leashes towards
the door

I barely get my shoes on
and then I'm sprawled
upon the floor.

@tellio @kittybecca @tibius The Hobbyist Poet describes me fairly well ... (and would be a good band name)

@arcans Perhaps you'll find something interesting ...

@tellio I had to look that up .. :)

@lauraritchie I love that the moon is there but you have to look for it .. this is a beautiful scene

@dajbelshaw I like links and curation notes. Images are fine but not what gets me reading. I look for voice of newsletter curator most of all.

@tellio Such cold raw water ... I'm feeling the healing cold on my skin now, too ... but I won't fight the sheet for it.

@StuC I love that I heard the kids shouting to you as you jingled your bike bell. Brightened my morning.
