When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. (1/2)

sure our democracy is crumbling around us. but hey, at least the weather here in Austin is lovely.

looks like my preorder was spot f'n on!
