Heartbroken-bacchus - I Miss Those Good Old Boys

the little white and blue houses on the beach

atleast in memory, iam looking out the window, watching the world pass by. happy i can be permanently atpeace in their mind’s eye.

i start to figure out how to survive in the city. people aren't so different than the ones back home -- guarded, straightforward, honest, hard-working people who elude self-defeat. the city has a way of weeding out the weak. and if you manage to survive, you'll find yourself also living above the endless pursuit.

Liz Toohey-Wiese, 2024.

"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."
