No Idea If This Is True, But It Feels True

The old hemlock forest at Tibbs Run Preserve bows under the weight of a late fall snowstorm this past weekend.

“Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing.Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin (via therushingriver)
