how i would hate to be cursed with immortality.
i would exist almost outside of time,
watching my friends and everyone i love slowly die.
watching the world change but never being part of it,
forced to observe as the place i knew crumbles.
sure, it'd be interesting to watch events that would become historical,
but it wouldn't be monumental to me.
because if i have to live another 300 years,
what's a catastrophe to me?

winter's coming on fast-
better chop enough wood.
pluck the last fruits of the harvest-
then say goodnight to the garden,
resting under a blanket of leaves and love.
In the vet's office.
My bunny, sedated.
They are coming soon with the second shot.
She had a good life. I hope she finds peace.
I'm going to miss her so much.
I love you, Whisper. I'm sorry.
Do you think people 100 years ago, in rural Vermont, looked up at the sky, at the milky way, the moon and all the stars? Do you think they marveled at them, and taught their children the constellations?
