A collection of poetic pieces that are neither strong enough, or long enough to stand on their own. I take a stroll through abstract metaphors, I extrapolate on complicated feelings, and I empty my brain on ideas that refuse to die.

THE RIVER-KEEPERS, A MAN AND A WOMAN WHO CAUGHT ON FIRE
A novella describes a possible transcendental life of spiritual ecology in the tradition of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist and Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha. A man and a woman do no more than find each other and set out to contrive a life together. But in this process, they come to live by an obscure river, and gradually open a luminous gateway into the very best of life. The natural events occurring in season after season and graceful provocations from the Old Boss, a river-keeper, kindle an awakening. The central protagonists-He and She-are presented without detailed characterization. Because of who they ultimately are, just as you and I, she and he might have a thousand true names--something akin to names such as "Bright Water" (Chosin*) or "Cloud Gate" (Yun Men**) or "True Emptiness" (Chan Kong***) or "Clear Mirror" (Kyong Ho****). Our view is so very small. Ordinary reality is an expression of a very real, extraordinary super-reality. Our true home is to be found in the landscape that designs us. *Japanese **Chinese ***Vietnamese ****Korean In a time of possible coming ecocide, The River Keepers is a novella that explores the grace that persists in wildness both within and without. Lance Kinseth has published creative nonfiction essays in literary magazines, and a book-length collection of essays. For "Homing," The North American Review, 272(4), Dec, 1987, pp. 10-19, Editor Robley Wilson wrote, "...a long and keenly observed essay on Nature, by Lance Kinseth. It has been a while since we were fortunate enough to print so sensitive a praise of River, of Earth, of Sun." For River Eternal: The Wonder of Common and Ashen Days Alongside a Prairie River. New York: Viking, 1989, Barry Lopez wrote, "In River Eternal, Lance Kinseth has built an elegant bridge between nature and culture. His vision is liberating, his ideas fresh, his language clean and beautiful. This is wondrous, invigorating, and humane work."Complete

☁️ | wander through my thoughts. all my experiences, realizations, decisions, vibes...attempted to be placed into rhythmic tone as a summary of my life. I hope for this to become a place of comfort for anyone who needs it. Poetry is a beautiful way to put whatever's on one's mind into words, especially for someone like me who's not so great at expressing so upfront. I want this to a place where we can all find instances of clarity knowing we all think, feel, and experience the same, maybe not exactly the same but somewhat. Poetry is an art and I hope you all enjoy my displays. I will try to update daily. Thank you 😊Complete

We Are Drowning, How Should We Kill Our Time?
This collection of stream of consciousness prose was written during a very special time in my life. I left the city following a massive burnout, and lived in the country for months. I began a garden, cut most of my ties to the outside world, and wrote this as a way to keep me going through most of my days. When I wrote, I felt like this magical sense was taking over me and the words were just flowing out. I have not edited them, because I wanted to keep them as true to the feelings I had then as possible. It was truly a beautiful, transformative time of realizations for me. Thanks for reading this piece of my heart!Complete
