Not to let one of my very closest and most favorite songs out of the bag but here goes. The first time I ever heard this song I was driving to Wyoming with one of the best friends a man could ask for. This was two years ago, the sun was setting over the wind river range leaving an orange glow and rain around the mountains. I’d go On to work there for a summer two years later, not in a small part because of that trip and my buddy (and a similar trip with my father 2 years before that).
Today back in the Midwest on the commute to my job I don’t really enjoy, 6 hours from my dear friend, In the Shadow of the Valley comes on and i tear up a little. Part of me will always be on that drive, and this lovely song lets me go there again, if only for a few seconds. Happy Friday love your friends while they live close :)

I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
