The Shadow of Olympus1h ago
Good bye to you, dear one, who has taken a final breath
A friend you were when I needed it most
For I might have drawn my last long ago
A cousin you were, a friendly voice in the darkness
And now you go forth on your journey
I hope you were not afraid
I hope you were not alone

Good bye to you as you walk the torchlit path
Where Hekate leads with pups to keep you company
And keys jangling in the night
Leading you to that final door
Away from pain and suffering
Away from stress and travail
But away from all of us as well

Good bye to you, and remember me please
For one day I too will face the path where Hermes walks
And shadows play games in the periphery of my vision
I will walk there and near the great caverns of Hades
I hope you will greet me
I hope you will smile
And welcome me with open arms

Good bye to you
Good bye!

The Long Walk to the Self: New Study Explores How Pilgrimages Transform the Spirit

Red states leading: Texas, Florida, and Ohio accounted for 73% of new solar capacity added last year. The sun does not check voter registration.

Cost collapse: Without subsidies, solar and wind are now the cheapest new electricity generation. A solar farm goes up in under a year. A gas plant takes several.

The war boost: Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has driven crude past $100 a barrel. Gas prices spiked more than a dollar a gallon domestically. The economic argument for energy independence is now visceral.

The EIA forecasts 93% of new generating capacity this year from solar, wind, and batteries. Coal production has plunged 53% since 2000. The administration guts clean energy with one hand and the market builds around it with the other — water finding its way past a boulder that thinks it's a dam.

Art, sex, nature: why is everything sold to us as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself?

How a reductive worldview is stripping meaning from our most valued activities

America’s hiking culture is built on ego

From peak-bagging to thru-hiking, Americans have turned traversing land into personal milestones. This wilderness ranger and Indigenous writer has witnessed it firsthand

#Tarot underneath/shadow card of evening: Knight of Swords. You may feel a lack of intellectual stimulation. Seek out small opportunities for learning. New book. Documentary. Piece of Art. If you keep forward movement, the drudgery will pass.
