Loved it Jason! It's wild. I sat down with my computer to type up an entry for a nature magazine - the prompt is to write about being way off trail surrounded by wildlife. And your page was here on my browser, writing about trees lol. New word of the day: Dalliances.
Thanks Nathan! I feel like once you get it into your mind to create something, the universe has a way of sending you signals and nudges to keep you going until you make the thing.
Charles Shultz was a genius.
He truly understood human nature better than just about anyone.
certainly was - the subtle emotional pulls, so good.
I absolutely love both the haiku and the poem following!
Thank you so much!
Tree roots intertwined, holding each other up 💕. Beautiful
Thanks! I'm never sure how these things will come out in the end. I'm grateful that you saw the beauty there.
I have come back to reread this, where else can you find such radical thoughts:
"no love is sweeter than the clinging of bodies that are
hard and soft in all the wrong places. Nothing is more erotic
than the touch of comfort and safety."
Thank you! I never know if my ideas are radical or just weird until long after I let them out into the world.
I'm honored that you spent the time to come back to this.

I hope the magazine loves your submission!
Totally - like tuning the dial on a radio :)
Brilliant.
Thank you Dascha, for introducing me to this.
Your poem is perfection, Jason. It resonates in my heart!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful poem 🖤. Reminds me of the Rilke poem about Marriage, and being the guardian of each other’s solitude.
Thank you! I don't think I know that poem, I'll have to check it out.
