The baby squirrel

Last night a baby squirrel wandered into our camp. The squirrel was cold and dehydrated and I emptied the soap from my tiny dr. Bronners bottle so that I could feed it drops of warm salt water. Finn and I wrapped the squirrel in a towel and it slept in the footbox of my sleeping … Continue reading The baby squirrel

At the portland airport

I won't be … Continue reading Preparing for the PCT: Resupply boxes FTW

stop trying not to feel it

April 11, 2013 / carrot quinn / 2 Comments

A.M. posted something about time being the golden spiral that was posted by someone else and I thought Yeah, I know! I thought of that once, that time was shaped like the golden spiral, and I felt kind of angry like I had thought of it first, spontaneously and on my own, like I should’ve … Continue reading stop trying not to feel it
