It is an immense privilege, and it is incredible that humans manage to forget the miracle of being here. Rilke said, ‘Being here is so much,’ and it is uncanny how social reality can deaden and numb us so that the mystical wonder of our lives goes totally unnoticed. We are here. We are wildly and dangerously free.” Anam Cara Mary Oliver, prolific nature poet and lesbo. I feel the need to mention that because LGBTQ folks are seldom represented in the western literary canon despite their great contributions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/7a5f4efd-732d-47e0-bbbb-fd325ca8f620/IMG_2478.jpg Musings - Summer’s End - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810283664-W342WANPBA5L55VXLLTQ/IMG_2402.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810989050-C4P1Y7AFJTEEFCOE4FY1/IMG_2333.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810095759-30KJJTMECWHT7FR0T3LD/IMG_2375.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810224698-SZ39OVNBI70RP9MMF6UY/IMG_2339.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810095662-BWN9RCI8R3H2R9XZ7B1M/IMG_2394.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1692810229978-AQ9QQ7PBD9F0OJVP5FA3/IMG_2275.jpg Musings - Summer’s End https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/04c61edb-5022-4cd3-87b2-a6a17173e4a3/odilon+redon.jpg Musings - Summer’s End - Make it stand out Die Barke, Odilon Redon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/1a0fd7d8-7c4e-4a03-9584-166a812a7258/Scanned+Documents-2.jpg Musings - Summer’s End - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.selaselasela.com/musings/june-ants-and-the-summer-of-false-starts monthly 0.5 2023-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/01a879d5-0013-4f19-a027-e03456937736/IMG_1668.jpg Musings - JUNE: Ants and the Summer of False Starts Some Sappho for the end of a very nice Pride month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6431e9d0d95e74741ce08449/18692f25-bdb2-4551-8484-482489a2c192/IMG_1908.jpg Musings - JUNE: Ants and the Summer of False Starts Ila and I saw this otter about twenty yards from the beach. it was very magical and we named it Ozzie after my stuffed otter that I still sleep with.
