the god of dirt

The god of dirt came up to me many times and said so many wise and delectable things; I lay on the grass listening to his dog voice, crow voice, frog voice; now he said, and now,

and never once mentioned forever.

— Mary Oliver, from “One or Two Things” in The God of Dirt: Mary Oliver and the Other Book of God by Thomas Wingate Mann · 2004 (via Alive on All Channels)

it’s wasp season again

it’s wasp season again.

you hear buzzing close in your ears and see shadows on the ground but every time you look up, there’s nothing there. your hair stands on edge.

your grandmother says that if you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you.

she means that they’ll only catch you if you run.

Bathing pool in the casino, St Augustine, Florida, 1897

Oh dude, this place is a giant museum now called the Lightner. There are tables on the drained pool area where you can eat lunch. The 3 1/2th floor is bustling with uncanny energy. There’s an old bathhouse in it too.
