What I Know about Self-righteousness
photo by Timothy Krause I’m really good at self-righteousness, and I bet you are, too. It feels GOOD to be right, am I right? Satisfying. Important. Powerful.

I… Continue reading What I Know about Self-righteousness →

January Super Blue Moon Tea: Cleavers
Our view from Austin of the super, blue, blood moon early this morning was clouded over, alas. But once the clouds cleared, I continued my monthly wildcrafted tea practice with cleavers. Here it’s called “sticky weed;” my children and their friends love to pick it and throw it at each other or stick it to… Continue reading January Super Blue Moon Tea: Cleavers →
