It seems a bit mean that you are keeping stack in CC when they wanted out of this.
Happy holidays!

Hey Everyone.
How’s it going? I’m hanging out down here in Panama for the holidays. It’s honestly a bit sweaty. Not excatly Chris Cringle’s stomping grounds.
A bunch of my photos came out in Audubon magazine this week, so that’s kinda nice. https://www.audubon.org/magazine/winter-2021/the-grand-dream-international-p...
If anyone has a copy, could you send me photos of the spread?

Congrats, Ash!
Speaking of birds, here’s “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver. Sometimes a poem can be useful…
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
– Mary Oliver
Take care and be safe.
- Heather

Thanks for the poem Heather! Here is one about wild swans that has been on my mind lately. It can be hard when everything is changing and also nothing changes.
The Wild Swans at Coole BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/william-butler-yeats The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry, Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty swans.
The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw, before I had well finished, All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings.
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore. All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore, The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread.
Unwearied still, lover by lover, They paddle in the cold Companionable streams or climb the air; Their hearts have not grown old; Passion or conquest, wander where they will, Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water, Mysterious, beautiful; Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day To find they have flown away?

That could only be a more perfect retro mailing list post if it had been followed by a blank message to the list with a misspelled "SUBSCRIBE" in the subject line.

Yes, yes it is. It's a rather raunchy joke.
Amazing photos Ash!! That roadrunner with the lizard in its mouth!!! I hadn't heard the binational park idea, love it. Makes me wanna visit.
There was a nice woodpecker at the feeder here at my parents' house yesterday. My dad sits and watches it for much of the day. He's old and his memory's going fast, what do y'all think I should ask him while I can?
Thanks for the poem Heather!! I know that some people whom I love love Mary Oliver but I've never really read her. I like that one.
A couple years ago I did one of those cheesy chain letter send-a-poem things. I sent it to Larry and he played along and sent it to Amanda and so Amanda had to send me a poem. She knew I was debating a new job on the other side of the country and sent this:
*The God Who Loves You* Carl Dennis
It must be troubling for the god who loves you To ponder how much happier you’d be today Had you been able to glimpse your many futures. It must be painful for him to watch you on Friday evenings Driving home from the office, content with your week— Three fine houses sold to deserving families— Knowing as he does exactly what would have happened Had you gone to your second choice for college, Knowing the roommate you’d have been allotted Whose ardent opinions on painting and music Would have kindled in you a lifelong passion. A life thirty points above the life you’re living On any scale of satisfaction. And every point A thorn in the side of the god who loves you. You don’t want that, a large-souled man like you Who tries to withhold from your wife the day’s disappointments So she can save her empathy for the children. And would you want this god to compare your wife With the woman you were destined to meet on the other campus? It hurts you to think of him ranking the conversation You’d have enjoyed over there higher in insight Than the conversation you’re used to. And think how this loving god would feel Knowing that the man next in line for your wife Would have pleased her more than you ever will Even on your best days, when you really try. Can you sleep at night believing a god like that Is pacing his cloudy bedroom, harassed by alternatives You’re spared by ignorance? The difference between what is And what could have been will remain alive for him Even after you cease existing, after you catch a chill Running out in the snow for the morning paper, Losing eleven years that the god who loves you Will feel compelled to imagine scene by scene Unless you come to the rescue by imagining him No wiser than you are, no god at all, only a friend No closer than the actual friend you made at college, The one you haven’t written in months. Sit down tonight And write him about the life you can talk about With a claim to authority, the life you’ve witnessed, Which for all you know is the life you’ve chosen.
