A Minefield from 2020-11-24T17:22:03

SEASON FINALE: You're All WALKING Now! from 2020-03-31T18:34:41

We are now in the latter. As I took this walk out to the harbor...

America's Designated Walker from 2020-03-18T02:06:12
Nothing much to say here. This--as always--is a recording of me walking in the woods. Maybe it's helpful to you. Maybe you'd like to take a walk but can't. I feel lucky that I can, so I feel obl...

Let Me Take You Safely Outside from 2020-03-11T17:46:12

Forest Quarantine from 2020-03-03T08:30

Who Else is Gonna Bring You a Bow and Arrow? from 2020-02-25T09:30
Off we go: into the woods, toward the harbor, up the hill, through the old cemetery, and onto my newish pal Berg's house--or, his "almost-house," as he's not quite done building it. Berg needed ...

Straightforward-Forward from 2020-02-18T15:17:06

Snow Falling on Seavers from 2020-01-14T09:30

Grief Mistaken for Joy from 2020-01-07T09:30

"Things Have an End, But Feeling is Infinite" from 2019-03-22T21:24:33

Walk of the Rising Sun from 2019-02-05T12:30
