The CryptoNaturalist

@delcityfarm These were great!

These are all so lovely to read. Thanks everyone.

@LaTiaJacquise Thank you! I really love this design.

Did I mention I have an entire book coming out on this subject? It's called Something in the Woods Loves You. Check the link in my bio for more information.

The combined influence of many small choices have large impact, on our lives and world. First, however, we must look to our small acts and recognize their worth and weight. A life is built of moments, not milestones. Cultivate a love for your here and now.

@inkhat So cool! Great trailer.

Book trailer! Book trailer! Book trailer!!!

@inkhat I mean... it didn't take A LOT of bullying.

Currently bullying Jarod to give one of his cryptids a very silly name. It's working.

@jeffvandermeer You have a real gift for turtle names.

Grump hump! One of five box turtles in the ravine. #VanderWild

@newSkye Thank you. A lot of thought, time, and tears went into this book. I really hope it connects.

@CryptoNature This sounds perfect. I look forward to it.

@Breakheart_Pass I think lovers of the woods will find a lot they recognize in this book, though I'm going to be very interested to learn how my version/vision of the woods is different from yours. I find my time beneath the trees to be so medicinal.

@CryptoNature It sounds awesome and I’d love to read it. I’m currently in the woods myself.

@TSougstad I hope you enjoy! Looking forward to chatting about it.

@mortal_atheist I haven't. Thanks for the recommendation!

@CryptoNature @CryptoNature, have you read Loren Eiseley's "The Immense Journey"? I think it would delight you

At some point I guess you abandon the post-its and admit that every page is your favourite... @CryptoNature

@TannamarieR Thanks! I'll try!

@CryptoNature You make really good poems and posts. Keep it up!

If we default to focus on harm (in myriad forms), we will never exhaust the available supply. But is that the true character of life? Is that the the truest nature of reality? No. It isn't. We must actively seek out the good in our world. Because it's there. And we need it. (2/2)

@honeylotusflwr Thanks! patreon.com/Cryptonaturali…

Life and death. Living and lifeless. Alive (for now). Lifeless (for now). Each of these are words in a conversation, are the pauses for breath. Sound and silence, equally vital. It's not wrong to feel sadness at change or loss. But loss is seldom the last word in nature. (3/3)

Yet, the substance of the mountain may yet become alive, minerals nourishing plants and animals. Yet, the substance of the fawn will likely live again, as sure as the circling vultures will do their duty. (2/3)
