Maxims (July 2016)
If you're not part of the problem, you're not part of the solution.
Preening one's moral feathers at the expense of others is not a morally defensible position.
There's no net.
Few things are more evident than someone else's illusions.
Those who have the least have the most to lose.
Nothing is more perishable than meaning.
Everything is a prism.
The unavoidable and the unacceptable are like a snake swallowing its own tail.
See it for what it is.
The world's indifference is the precondition of our responsibility.
Beware of neat rhetorical tropes. Beware of maxims.

Stonebirths
This is not their time, our present world, but who is to say if that time is ages behind them or merely still to come? What may awaken when we, in turn, have had our day?

Rot
Scenes from the woods, spring and summer 2016.
Many of these specimens seemed to appear overnight (or maybe I just didn't notice them), and many were gone or wasted away to nothing in a day or two. All are fungi except the second, which is Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora), and the last, which seems to be a slime mold. The brightly-colored insect in the third-to-last shot is one of the aptly-named Pleasing Fungus Beetles.
Update: Further rot below:
Above: Probably Climacodon septentrionalis.
