Who knew one could make such a simplistic life feel so painful? I love that parallel. I was questioning the purpose/reason for a lot of things in my life during my drive to work this morning . . . so to read this today-the irony.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. And I hate hunting.

Brilliant comment, Joshua. Makes me want to know you. When I finish reading this piece, I’ll also want to comment but might feel daunted about capturing my experience with such truth and care.

Birds screaming taking cover from the night, daily calamity of chaos. Wow! Can you write! Thank you.

Wonderful story. The timeless urgency of longing, full strength.
