I do see your connectedness to a large picture of nature and its processes. Particularly, I like the nexus of sun, tree, heat, and sweat. Larger still, the timelessness of the fire and its adherents, now and in the past. Quite refined, quite deep, peaceful. You have a natural rhythm to your tasks.

I respect your friend that didn't shoot his arrow because he didn't have a shot. I like the way you weave kinship, life, death, and respect for the Cycle together. I broke a friendship, right on the spot, years ago when a hunting companion took a shot at a cardinal for "fun." Despicable behavior among humans to sentient beings brings me to anger as quick as anything. Your writing, I so much enjoy. I had several professors I respected greatly. One was Donald Worcester of T.C.U. who was president of Western Historical Association and Western Writers Assn. (I think), back in the 1980s, 1970s. You may have run across him? Anyway, I'm composing a couple of new things for my blog and I want you to read them when I post. Thanks, Jack. Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I somehow missed it when you wrote in September. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog, and I hope you've run across my book, Waiting for Coyote's Call, as well. From my front window I see the grove of ancient cedars on the hill southwest of St. Helena, which I call "Mount St. Helena." Yes, this is wonderful country. What do you do in DC?

I somehow missed it when you filed it months ago. I'm glad you enjoyed the book, and thanks for mentioning it to the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center. As you can see, he is a hero and mentor of mine, and I would be delighted to come there for a visit sometime! Also, I hope I get to meet you sometime when you visit Linda and Mick.

Jerry, the tangle is out there. We are curious, blasting ships into space, into the tangle. Your prose is beautiful.

It's a never-ending chore to keep mesquite cleared from pastures.
