Ahhhh. The powdery birch bark I can almost feel it, but then there is Neckkess Ned (from my camper days) lurking out there somewhere too!

Yeah, I keep an eye for him as well.

Once again, loving your words. Once again, tearing up as I read on the Catio, coffee at hand and tiny rain pelting me. This touches my soul, deeply…even though I’m fairly afraid of it, I also feel most at home in the dark. Thank you❤️

Thank you for reading my work. I love the image of you reading it with coffee and the sound of rain. Just so you know, there is a fear of the darkness in me too. I am not sure if you have read some of my older essays on here but I did one a while ago called "Fear Swims Beside You" where I spoke openly of my fear. If you haven't read it, you might enjoy it. https://jeffrennicke.substack.com/p/fear-swims-beside-you Thank you for your comment and for joining the journey aboard the "Little Dipper."

I think I did read that one, but I’ll go back and check soon. Thanks!

Thank you for a beautiful description of how peaceful and serene the darkness can be , if we just surrender to it.

When you figure it is about half of our lives, it may be a "Dark Coast" worth getting to know. Thank you for reading along.
