    Slow the fuck down.

    This is my movement.

    Slow the fuck down. I have to tell myself this now. Mostly because I just don’t have the physical energy to keep up with my brain now, in my 50’s. But I used to.

Or I’ve felt it but you didn’t see it because I am so good at hiding my freneticism. Sometimes I feel it. Like my body wants to be frantic - and I have no reason to be. For many years, my life was frantic whether I wanted it to be that way or not. With eight kids total and usually 4 or 5 or 6 underfoot at any given time, I am used to being busy.

  • Against Nature by Joyce Carol Oates

    Against Nature by Joyce Carol Oates
    Mar 5 2025
    This is a delightful essay in that the author is not at all delighted by nature - at least not here. This essay wholly embraces not nature writing. And it is a study of nature and how we think of it. Humanly.
