I recently read an article titled Armed and female: States mark rise in women hunters. While it didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know, the article still filled my heart with gladness for a number of reasons. First off, I have never accepted what has come to be seen as “traditional” social structures that […]

It being the third anniversary of the LFM wedding, you’ll all understand, our hands are far too busy to type.

Today’s Dark Sentiment is about a very real curse that stalks our girl children, our wives, our mothers – in fact every woman. It entwines them in its evil tendrils and draws its nourishment from them by draining their sense of self-worth, forcing them to suppress their intellectual and creative spirit, and filling their hearts […]

In every war in every era, the lives of some have been ending violently at the same time those of others have been blossoming. Such is the way of things.

Happy 10 years baby! I love you ! My Love said a mouthful there, and the day I […]

My birthday fell on this past Saturday and, as is traditional, Mrs. LFM and I went hiking. This year’s stomping grounds was Kejimkujik National Park, an incredible expanse of lakes, rivers, and forests that is of special significance to Mrs. LFM and me, and was the place in which the ceremonies spoken of in my […]

Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life. ~ John Muir The twenty-fourth […]

Seven years ago today, my father succumbed to the ravages of cancer. I think of him throughout the year, almost every day, but especially on the days of his birth and his death. My dad and I were always very close. He was understanding, encouraging, sympathetic, inspiring and above all, loving. He pushed me to […]
