You and I have finished swelling: our circling periods are playing out, but we can still leave footprints on a trail whose end we do not know.

Richard Adams quote: "He fought because he actually felt safer fighting than running."
He fought because he actually felt safer fighting than running. Richard Adams
Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances. Marvin J. Ashton
The kakapo is a bird out of time. If you look one in its large, round, greeny-brown face, it has a look of serenely innocent incomprehension that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything will be all right, thought you know that it probably will not be. Douglas Adams

Though this new forest grew mightily, elsewhere the mighty jungles fell. Elsewhere the coastal rain forests that furred the body of the world were torn and riven. Elsewhere the last of the old growth the last of the world’s own garment were ripped away.
