Misunderstanding is my cornerstone. It's everyone's, come to think of it. Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet.

No other continent has endured such an unspeakably bizarre combination of foreign thievery and foreign goodwill.

A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death. I am the forest's conscience, but remember, the forest eats itself and lives forever.

My dogs have been my most loyal friends and constant companions.
