Strike
The phobia of a copperhead strike
is made real by the lunge of a
lawnmower into the brush to shred
the coiling orange and brown with
a screaming whump only to realize
that it was an eastern box turtle
I had set upon.
Once again what I am afraid of
has led me to destroy what I love
and I weep, wondering if I will ever
become one whose perceived fears
are not acted on.
I did not look to see if the
slowmover was dead
but I knew. I could see the
bloody pieces of her
shell scattered across
the lawn.September 3, 1996

It happened: After a long creative crisis, I blogged again:
https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/a9343c7d-7f25-4fea-931d-2335413f25deI’ve regained my passion for #writing human-made texts in a world of slop and scraping. And with #NatureMatchCuts I'll talk about more than nature topics. I'll talk about how we can find #hope and motivation to act in these weird times.

I’m happy to present another title in the Grammaticus Free Library series. This time it's “Squirrel”, a charming story written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman.
The PDF comes with vocabulary notes and a grammar exercise on non-standard, dialectal forms used by the author - all of which are explained in the accompanying blog post.

#BookReview - Gary Snyder’s 'The Practice of the Wild' offers nine thoughtful and beautifully crafted essays exploring our connection (and disconnection) to the wild, and why it matters.
Snyder, now 95, was a leading member of the Beat Generation of 1950s American authors. This collection is strongly informed by a nature-reverent stream of Zen #Buddhism, and has been highly influential in #DeepEcology movements world-wide.
Includes some very practical wisdom, and reads best in a mossy wood.

Lord Byron writes: "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes, by the dip sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more."
