My third trip to Colorado this spring is wrapping up, and as tired as I am from all the travel, I just don’t wanna leave yet. It’s quickly becoming my new favorite state (aside from Michigan of course), and I’d love to come back again for more cowboy hats, wildflower hikes, rooftop chats, and photo adventures. Help me return to the mountains soon and photograph your friends, coworkers, favorite bar tender, neighbor, neighbor’s dog, etc. I’ll certainly buy you a beer if you recommend me, and maybe I’ll even drop the travel fee. Word is out.⠀

Riverside, first wedding of the year. I love the dark blue-greens and barren trees of a still-sleepy earth. Scattered patches of melting snow with a few early-bird shoots poking through the cold dirt. The river, heavy from snow melt, rushing behind us. I’ll take a muddy mountain town over grassy lawns as a wedding backdrop any day. ⠀

Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal... To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable⠀

Heading back to Colorado tomorrow. This happened the last time I was in the Rocky Mountains, hoping for more muddy bridal rainboot adventures in the future. Anyone wanna shoot?⠀

Something like spring has made its way this far north, now. A stronger sort of morning sunshine is streaming in through my bathroom window, the dirt is getting warmer by the day and things are starting to look alive. We made it through the long, cold weeks of snow up past the window panes and frozen windshield wiper blades. Dirty driveway slush has given way to worms and weeds and I finally got to step outside barefoot, dig my toes in the earth. On the edge of summer here, we’re leaning into light coats and bare ankles even as temperatures still drop to freezing at night — but warmth is imminent now. Soon it will be time for dodging tourist traffic, road construction and over-crowded bars. Amidst the inevitable complaints, missing the time we had the town all to ourselves, with warmth comes warmer water to jump in headlong after work and evenings to spend sipping something on the porch and watching the night slip in. ⠀

Summer, soon.⠀

There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate—the genetic and neural fate—of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death. I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure⠀
