a new year for the trees
The snow allows me to go where I usually can’t in good conscience. Someone has already made a path here, so I follow the deep footfalls cast by snow. Still, I don’t touch sand and keep mindful of slick surfaces as I wind the path past the iced over marsh and back up the dunes to the copse of maritime pine stark against the bright white and pale, sleeping grass. A muted green yet green nonetheless among the hibernating things.

book review: Trail of the Lost by Andrea Lankford
There is a lot to be (positively) said about “Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail” by Andrea Lankford, which is jammed with information, readable, and tackles the tangled complexity that is searching for lost people in the wilderness. There are no neat answers because this is not a neat situation. While this can be frustrating to some, it’s reality and reality is sometimes very frustrating and uncooperative; which is well reflected in the text. If you’re interested in nature, true crime, and/or wilderness rescue, this is a good read satisfying in its thoroughness without being winded or dry. It’s not your usual true crime or hiking book which is its strength; the biggest strength being the author’s ability to not be constrained to any singular field and in the connections she makes.

Omer 22 - 22 piercings. Content Warning.
Relegated to la belle juive. Relegated to a crying villain; claims of crocodile tears. Relegated to something not human without say, without thought, without care. I remain the caricature. I remain fiction. No control allotted or allowed. I am the one who haunts them, nonetheless.
