Bad NDNs: 10/28/12 - 11/4/12
http://whenturtlesfly.blogspot.com/2012_10_28_archive.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. Ghazal for Trees, October 29, 2012. The stillness of waiting has passed. Trees, thank you for shade. For your work as windbreak. And cleanser of air. For leaves that fall and soften this clay. Trees, try out your vocal chords, tentative rushes. That send old leaves spiraling across mountains. Thank you for the black walnuts and acorns,. Pecans and paw paws, persimmons and wild Asian pears. Thank you for pinecones, hickory nuts. Thank you for fragrant. Thank you for green. Brings...

Bad NDNs: 9/30/12 - 10/7/12
http://whenturtlesfly.blogspot.com/2012_09_30_archive.html
Saturday, October 6, 2012. Waking Up in California. Because I have lived most of my life away from California, when I return for a visit I see it with different eyes than those who have never left. Everything is new to me, and at the same time, I remember and know every detail. This is, perhaps, more of a bone and blood memory:. The air, minerals, water, scents, pollen, light, angle of the sun and stars, that my body remembers, that some deep part of my brain remembers. Once, taking a bus a few years ago...

Bad NDNs: Kids on Ponies
http://whenturtlesfly.blogspot.com/2011/04/shrooms.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Deby Miranda, Los Angeles, CA. There used to be this guy . he'd come through the neighborhoods with a pony and a set of child-sized, mythologically-correct cowboy gear: the hat, vest, chaps, sometimes a bandana. And he'd smooth-talk the parents while the pony charmed their kids: a picture, just a few dollars, every kid's dream. Remember that guy? More importantly, remember that pony? But you know which one is my favorite. Do you have a Kid on Pony picture of yourself? Katrina, A...

Bad NDNs: Wild Game Potluck, December 15th
http://whenturtlesfly.blogspot.com/2012/12/wild-game-potluck-december-15th.html
Sunday, December 16, 2012. Wild Game Potluck, December 15th. Wild Game Potluck Supper, December 15th. Last night I ate bear meat. And venison, wild pig and turkey,. Drank moonshine made of peaches,. Sipped oysters hauled from the Rappahannock River. In brown gunnysacks. Last night, I watched the smile. Of a slim crescent moon chase across the clouds. At twilight as I stood in the shadow of Big House. And Little House Mountains. Last night I listened to hunting stories. Told in soft Shenandoah accents.
