Bindweed, Judgement and Other Invasive Species

On a recent shady Missoula evening, I set out into my back yard to do some weeding. I was expecting to tackle dandelions and clover, but I came upon a plant I had never seen before…

2020… Seek it Lovingly

Please, Thank you, I love you, I’m sorry.

I was walking on the hill today after reading a difficult and painful letter from a friend, when I noticed some words resurfacing from deep within me
