Remake the world in your image. 🪡🩳
For nature beats in perfect tune,
And rounds with rhyme her every rune,
Whether she work in land or sea,
Or hide underground her alchemy.
Thou canst not wave thy staff in air,
Or dip thy paddle in the lake,
But it carves the bow of beauty there,
And the ripples in rhymes the oar forsake.
- Emerson
When life is like a Guy Clark song….
Like a forest fire in a grove of domesticated oak trees, a sun rises, a hot orange orb, and with it a vestal spirit, unknown to me till now, dredges itself upon my shore. The dew glistens, frozen hard against the rocky sands of this lake. Great vision made possible by countless teachers, paid and unpaid, lays bare in the frozen waters of this time, this period, this stopping point. An impermanence pregnant with promise and possibility is purged of its potential. Too many p-s for so many q-s.
“Ask the world to reveal its quietude…. You are where breathing is prayer.” - Wendell Berry

Repair > Replace. Just back from the cobbler, these Mountain Lights with a citified sole from the earliest Stumptown Collection, circa Summer, 2011.
The Italian-made Christy sole is renowned for its lightweight and comfortable design. Owing to its non-marking properties, it was initially used predominantly in the construction and service industries, but it’s now widely recognized for its comfortable, functional and utilitarian aesthetic. The sole is made from a blown rubber compound that provides excellent traction on various surfaces, and it’s known for being easy to clean and to detect when it’s dirty.

“The learned man aims for more. But the wise man decreases. And then decreases again.” A mix for January up now on Spotify.
43. Another year, another step into the marshy paths of life's ever-changing landscapes, and what better way to navigate these terrains than with my trusty clogs, now a six-year-old tradition. Thanks to my family, this year's clogs are not just footwear, but a canvas of affection, showcasing the beloved characters of a testament to the subtle, profound philosophies I've grown to appreciate. This year, with a white base symbolizing a fresh start and an optimist's perspective, I'm embracing change, inspired by Einstein's wisdom: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Here's to a year of new paths and fresh perspectives. As always, my gratitude to my wife and our talented children for their artistic contributions, making each pair of clogs a chronicle of our journey together, filled with love, growth, and life's simple, yet profound joys.

Five years as these young women’s stepdad, scrappin’ and yellin’ and mixin’ it up…. Best five years of my life and they celebrated me better than I could’ve asked for: my well-documented love of soap and steak and inside jokes, a Chinese-made Targét mug that purports to be otherwise with its Midwestern decal, helmet, skin-colored running shoes and Willie Nelson [not pictured (yet)]. Chalk it up to their priceless mother, my loving wife who missed her calling as a calligrapher/birthday card designer/genuine marker artiste. 👩🏻🎨❤️

All day long I dream about… barbecue sauce.
The greatest hits of -s past, and a new addition, a glimpse into my back pages: Druber’s Donuts in Newton, Kansas was my first donut shop. There’s an apocryphal story from my family of two salesman, a generation and a couple decades apart, walking into Druber’s to find that the townspeople were wearing trucker caps with the family name “Wastler” patched onto the front… a story for another time and place.
