Poetry and Forests

I had a whole post written up about how much work has sucked recently and how the stress of it has exacerbated the RSI in my dominant hand resulting in having to keep it wrapped up 3-4 days during the work week. But, I started that on SUNDAY and it's now just barely THURSDAY. So that's how my week is really going. More on specifics a little bit later in another post when I have more than the few bits of time I do have in the week hours to write things out. Like last week's new music post which is sitting half-written in my notes because I just couldn't get to it.

Even now, I've got a cold and I haven't even gone anywhere, I stay inside and yet I definitely have a cold. Thank goodness for the upcoming three-day weekend here.

ANYHOW. I did bring something lovely to share for all my negativity right now. I've posted work from Jacob Gellar before. He makes some of the most thoughtful youtube content using video games to talk about other things. In this instance, about forests. But also about poetry. And poetry about forests... there's a lot to unpack in this video. He talks through big concepts in a way that's easily digestible and they're very good. I highly recommend giving this a watch -- even if you're not big into video games. They're just a media used, as much as the actual woods are in a later part of the vid. Highly recommend.
