STANDING AT WATER'S EDGE is out! (eBook and audiobook coming soon) @McFarlandCoPub Just when we need a reminder to pay attention and stay grounded in the present.
Mark Longo has just revealed that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation euthanized his cherished pet squirrel, Peanut. This innocent creature was taken from him, where he had lovingly raised it since it was a baby, after its mother got hit by a car.
Mark used the squirrel’s viral popularity to raise funds for animal sanctuaries.
Imagine, without any legal basis like a search warrant, the government barged into his home, stole Peanut, and in just 48 hours, ended the life of this harmless, beloved pet.
@ThePOTSPostman Great question to process for oneself and help others. After 40 years of me/CFS, POTS, autoimmune disease, immune deficiency, adrenal insufficiency and now long COVID I found that salt, swimming/walking trails in nature, deep /REM sleep, and LDN/supplements/ hormones helped most
"It’s understandable that we want to save our children from encounters with material reality: with death or danger or manual labor. But they lose something essential when we do."

When a tree falls in the backyard of a writer, they not only hear it but write an essay about it. In Janice Post-White's "Life Uprooted," twin oak trees remind her of her twin brother and her own deteriorating body. @JPostWhite

Ever wonder what happens after you leave this earth? I share my perspective on “Life Uprooted” in the beautiful summer issue of The Coachella Review. We are all vulnerable, including the trees and our houses.

A deeply moving and beautifully written profile of @suleikajaouad (Between Two Kingdoms, 2021) “…about the big philosophical questions of life and death and marriage and dreaming big even when the survival math tells you not to.” (The Isolation Journals)
@rgummere@TIME Oh the fear and joy, the loss and gift, the sorrow and strength. Thank you for sharing your eloquent and reaffirming story. Your love will make “the brighter spot” glow.
@ThePOTSPostman A therapist asked if I got bored when flat on my back in bed unable to process, read, think about anything. To me, being bored takes energy and is accompanied by a desire to be or do something other than just stare into space wishing to just get to tomorrow.
