Robert Michael Pyle quotes:

The crushed carcasses of slugs and frogs mixing with the Cretaceous carbons of tar give the road an organic glaze."

This sort of day makes indoor work seem shameful. So working outside, whether in the garden or the woods or on the front porch..., is a sacrament.

The crushed carcasses of slugs and frogs mixing with the Cretaceous carbons of tar give the road an organic glaze.

when that small Siberian bird fell out of the sky over Gray's River, not once but twice, he brought with him the sweetness of chance in any place, the certainty of wonder in all places. And if that's not grace, I don't know what it.
