Readers! So much has happened/is always happening; sometimes the constantly-forking nature of my life (all our lives?) baffles me. Currently I'm dogsitting in a beautiful house way up on a hilltop in Southern Oregon. This morning I ran in the cold and the smell of the ponderosa pines and the sun came out with its … Continue reading The Vandwelling Dream

I meant to tell you
About December and January, but then I didn't, and now January is practically over. It went like this: I got systemic poison oak, my face swelled up, I didn't want to get steroids. I stopped kissing my dogs, I washed everything I owned, I acknowledged the existence of poison oak everywhere in the forest here. … Continue reading I meant to tell you
After the trail: Home and other abstract concepts
September 25 I wake in the night when my calves seize up and I jerk from my sleeping bag and stretch them in the dark room, trying to stop the cramp.

A little update to say
I'M NOT GOING TO STOP BLOGGING. I said this a few posts ago, but I think some of you missed it?

My cabin looks like a church in the evenings on account of all the candles. I … Continue reading I made you this weird video that has nothing to do with anything

Another update from the snowy oak forest
In all my comings and goings I seem to have finally settled in a little one-room cabin in a snowy oak forest in Southern Oregon where I cook on the woodstove, sleep in a tiny loft and do not have electricity. The snow, I am told, is an anomaly; but for now it is beautiful … Continue reading Another update from the snowy oak forest

We’re snowed in here at the little house in the oak forest
And it's really magical. Here's a (shaky, poor quality) video of Kinnikinnick in the snow that I made with my phone. You're welcome.
