That Dreamwidth appears to be working, which is a nice refuge when my 'oh no, LJ's tanked" panic fits hit. It's always good to have a back up plan.
Perhaps there should be a grand introductory post. But I'm not feeling too grand at the moment; and it's rather counter-intuitive to start a journal about redneck spirituality with a lot of fanfare.
Better to ease into it, to say, Hey, how you all doing? Pass around a few beers, settle into a lawn chair, and watch the fire.
Conversation comes slow, on some nights: there's enough there, watching the wood snap, black logs crumbling into embers. The smoke pushing out in every direction -- no matter where you move the lawn chair, it's gonna get you.
But tonight, fire's not such a good thing. It's dry here, and brush fires have been all over the county. Trash fires get themselves a little bit of attitude, and before you know it, the local FD's zooming up to make sure you don't lose your house to a fire you never really intended to get all that big.
So there's the thought through the day: you never expect something to get away from you like that -- but it often does.
