The Fair Light Review: November 2011
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Klukwan School Winter Play 2011. How the stories intersect and become a single telling will require magical realism, puppets and the brilliance of kids. These ingredients we've got. The suspension of disbelief, this time of year, comes somewhat naturally for all of us in the hinterlands. Here's to holiday fal-da-ral! Links to this post. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. We'll call it the late November hole. Links to this post. Thursday, November 3, 2011.

The Fair Light Review: April 2015
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Today, the rain is thick. One or two degrees would return the stuff to snow. I woke up to six fresh inches as a flock of Canada geese circled above hoping to find a route up through the pass. They've yet to drop off the first of the hummingbirds who hitch a ride the middle of each April. I'm here to greet the hummers though this year I'd rather accompany the geese farther north. So, last spring a starving wolf took out Mason, our devoted and ancient canin...

The Fair Light Review: January 2013
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. A sweet winter so far. Hannah also rallied north for the holidays. Her senior year is focused on writing plays, staging and producing events resplendent with masks, puppetry, and spectacle. Off time, back home, she focuses on replenishing the reserve; catching up on reading, family, and being outdoors. Godzilla is ALWAYS in the tree! They're plucky. Can you tell? Da Band # 1. I've spent January putting in snowshoe trail. There's not quite enough white...

The Fair Light Review: February 2013
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Monday, February 4, 2013. It's February Never Too Late to Start Early. What a day. The sun brings everything into rich, startling relief. My sled is loaded with sleeping gear and all the snow-shoe trails reconfigured to allow me to tow. It's Spring Camp, just down river. It's nearly within shouting distance of home on a high point where the Klehini can conspire with Mt. Bigger to sing into my dreams for a few nights. Maybe I'll hear the Great Horned owl as well.

The Fair Light Review: October 2011

The Fair Light Review. Thursday, October 6, 2011. A Bootstrap Kinda Joy. An acrid sweet melancholy drips from the forest this morning, mixing with smoke from my woodstove. Raven is not far off, talking about his relatives and dropping casual references to mine, as though he has the right to gossip and share the personal news of others. I wonder if he blogs? Micah Bochart offers us a teaser film from this summer's puppet show, linked to here. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Fair Light Review: July 2011

The Fair Light Review. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Elves in the Understory. Links to this post. Monday, July 11, 2011. This last season I've found most of the writing I'm doing is 'processing', the soul work that keeps one aware that there's still a lot to learn. Perhaps someday I'll be capable of shaping it into a form that will be useful or entertaining to others. For now, the words and thoughts are piling nicely into spiral-bounds with a number two pencil.

The Fair Light Review: November 2012
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Thursday, November 29, 2012. This summer melted far faster then that last stretch of snow. At present, Yarona is keeping her mamma, poppa and grandma on their toes in Bellingham, Wa. Her momma's undergoing chemo sessions for Hodgkin Lymphoma, (detected a year after her first treatments). Bellingham is a somewhat easier climate. But, gad. it's wet! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Chilkat Valley News. The Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center.

The Fair Light Review: June 2012
http://rilkemaid.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Fair Light Review. Monday, June 18, 2012. I've been away from writing and I miss it. In late May the snowshoes were repaired and put away just as a green grandness unfurled. May and June have been quite cool, in the low 40°'s. Not a gardening summer. The Kluane-Chilkat Bike Race last weekend had calls for snow in the Chilkat Pass, twenty miles beyond our place. I tuck in at night with a cozy sweater and socks. We're a well oiled team, a silent presence. We are the watcher in the woods. Haines Borough...
