pulchra terra

creek and marsh grass

When we destroy nature we diminish our capacity to sense the divine, to understand who God is and what our own potential is and duties are as human beings. RFK Jr.

Mortality

Filmmaker and friend, Providence RI
I was consuming last night, broke a tooth. Enthusiastic consumer.
Sow and piglets
Mother and children. Sentient beings. Nothing good in store but a meal is a meal, the present moment gratifying. Don’t think about tomorrow?
