My words want to cuddle clearmint lines in notebooks And run over you
With ease as I jot backward
My feet are making
Tomorrow&#8217;s line
Through conditional circumstance
Along path

In honour of my friend Julia(-the-Chemist)&#8217;s wedding her beloved Bryan(-the-Geographer) this afternoon, I&#8217;d like to share a quote about marriage. Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

&#8220;If two stand shoulder to shoulder against the gods,
Happy together, the gods themselves are helpless
Against them while they stand so.&#8221;
- Maxwell Anderson

He climbed the mountain. Donning green cap over trademark slick-smooth scalp. Tromped army boot past Squamish hill. Deeper. Deeper still. Over one week ago.
Called on by an invisible voice? Led by confident trailhead? Egged on by joyous sun? Another voice? Tyler, why have you walked so long? Ty, where have you gone? Ty, come home [...]]]></description>
