The truth is I’m not very close to many people. I can only really get close to people who have a glint in their eye. It’s a certain twinkle. An awareness of something more. It’s a certain glimmer that hints of worlds beyond our own. Mischievous children have it. It’s usually combined with a very sharp intelligent awareness of what’s going on. It’s a closeness to imagination and creativity. It’s an ability to see beyond what’s in front of you, the underlying rules of everything. It’s a kind of magic and alchemy. It also represents naughtiness, an ability and desire to break the rules.

“The woods gal, that’s what they called me.” Emma Dupree, 1898-1996. Photos by Mary Anne McDonald.

Emma Dupree was a respected herbal healer in Pitt County, North Carolina: “From the time she could walk, Emma felt drawn to the land. She would roam the woods, plucking, sniffing, tasting weeds. She grew up that way, collecting the leaves, stems, roots, and bark of sweet gum, white mint, mullein, sassafras in her coattail or a tin bucket. She’d tote them back to the farm, rinse them in well water and tie them in bunches to dry. In the backyard, she’d raise a fire under a kettle and boil her herbs to a bubbly froth, then pour it up in brown-necked stone jugs: a white-mint potion for poor circulation; catnip tea for babies with colic; tansy tea - hot or cold - for low blood sugar; mullein tea for a stomach ache …” — Paige Williams

Hmm life is seriously falling into place beautifully. Jordan and I aren’t going to travel together this summer which actually works out best for both of us. We are working on being supportive friends right now, Honestly some really exciting things are happening I need to discuss this! loll

Arizona’s Grand Canyon is a natural formation distinguished by its layered bands of red rock and its vast scale, averaging 10 miles across and a mile deep along its 277-mile length. Much of the area is a national park. With sweeping vistas, it’s a destination for hiking, mule rides, camping and aerial tours, plus white-water rafting on the Colorado River.

History is a brainwashing pseudoscience. Only attention and intuition really matter

I swear. If you pick up a history book on America that isnt from America you will find out way more about the history of this country and even then its still white-washed.

I love that sweet smell of decay that surrounds me in forests and woods. A kind of mulchy, deep, rich rot that has no connotation of death or ending, but rather of life and age. A sense of perpetual destruction and rebirth.

Native to the equatorial rain forests of Sumatra, the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan Arum, can reach more than 6 feet in height when it blooms, opening to a diameter of 3–4 feet. But the plant is perhaps most famous—or infamous—for its exceptionally foul odor. Hence the nickname, Corpse Flower. A Titan Arum in bloom is as rare as it is spectacular. A plant can go for many years without flowering, and when it does the bloom lasts only one or two days. Some people travel around the world hoping to see a Titan at the moment it flowers.
