Winter 2025: Resistance

I don’t think there is anything I need to say about the state of the world to express how I’m feeling about it. I hate it, but I’m trying to do the best I can to resist, stay informed, but also live my life despite it all. It’s just going to be a very rough few years. I refuse to give up hope despite my very real fears.

I drove out to the prairie and visited my garden as a reminder that even in the most bleak of times, hope is there. Even in the dead of winter, seeds will feed the birds. Creatures will use the spent grasses and stems as nesting material. In the spring, the seeds that scattered in the fall will grow to become life anew.
