  The Liberty of Rootedness

  Jul 2, 202617 minS0

  <p>Here in the hills of inland New England, you could wander down the road this weekend into the village below. You will be going down to watch the fireworks with your family on the bridge that spans the lake as your friends and neighbors light them from a dock. It will be a little dusky as you walk down along the tree-lined road through the tunnel of green and everyone will be too excited, too full of anticipation of the night to come, to even mind the biting bugs that hatched in the humidity of the past week. That...

  The Green Conspiracy

  Jun 1, 20265 minS0

  <p>The canopy leafs out and we are suddenly reminded of June’s benevolent conspiracy, its invitation to hide amid the green. The bare, brutal skies of November are on the other side of the year and we can take solace in a little concealment, a good green refuge. The world softens in these weeks as the stark silhouettes of winter blue ease into the froth of leaves unfurling. You grow weary in those grey days from so much exposure amid the stripped limbs and nude skies, but there is a sort of mercy now in the hills and hollows, no...

  Rebuilding Home

  May 11, 20268 minS0

  <p>People will tell you that “you cannot go home again.”</p><p>What they mean is that time moves in one direction; the old people die, the stores close, the fields grow over, and the little places that once anchored a childhood lose their shape beneath the capricious whims of modern life. A man returns years later looking for what he remembers and instead finds vinyl where there was once canvas, particle board where there was once pine, disposable things stacked beneath fluorescent lights where there were once shelves lined with goods meant to last a lifetime and beyond. Yes...

  You Need to Find Your Old Hollow Tree

  Mar 16, 202610 minS0

  <p>There is a tree at the entrance to the forest. It is very old and contains a large hollow in its center. As a boy, I would stop at the old hollow tree, pick up a stone from the path, and toss it into the dark opening before continuing on into the green. At first it was a game, the sort of thing children invent through their good little ways. I liked the sound of the stone rattling down into the cavity. I liked the thought that the tree was keeping count. I liked having a threshold to cross...

  There is No False Spring

  Feb 16, 20269 minS0

  <p>February is so often treated unfairly. We call a run of warm days a “false spring,” as if the month were trying to trick us, as if it had made a promise it could not keep. We speak of it with suspicion, as though any softness in the air must be a deception and any thaw a betrayal waiting to happen. Dear February is treated with too much wariness. This has never sat right with me. February does not lie. It does not overpromise. It does not pretend that winter is finished. It does not hang banners or sound trum...
