#mastodaoine

Last week of August and the goldenrod is throwing its yellow along every ditch and fence line in Georgia.

The cicadas have gone from a wall to a scatter. And somewhere down in the dark under all of it the mycelium is doing the year's actual work, and not one person is watching it or thanking it for anything.

The land does not require an audience to keep its promises. Suidh sìos. Tha ùine gu leòr agad — sit down, you have time enough.

What's turning where you are this week?

We are extraordinarily good, in this community, at eulogy. We had to be. We got very good very young at saying the beautiful thing after the person could no longer hear it, and that skill has calcified into a habit of waiting.

So: pick one living person. Today. Tell them out loud, in words, what they have been to you. Not a text with a heart on it. Words. Out loud. Today.

Is fheàrr caraid sa chùirt na crùn san sporan — a friend in the court is better than a crown in the purse. Say it while there's somebody in the room to catch it.
