START WITH THE TREE ~

Building a marriage, building a family,

 building a small barn out in the woodlands together 

as a family, as a marriage, 

and seeing the roof go on.

The Dawn Wall Climb

January 2015

“What makes the Dawn Wall so special is that it’s almost not possible,” the renowned climber Alex Honnold said. “The hardest pitches on the Dawn Wall are harder than I’ve ever climbed.”

LETTERS FROM IAN HAMILTON FINLAY ~

"Oh I am so tired of mean ness of spirit. I am a low, tired, weary, twisted person, but I long, long for some GOODNESS and CLARITY. If we cannot put First Things First, could we not Put Them Third, at least, for a wee while . . . All those people of Breadth: they are people without centres . . . and without shame."

Ian Hamilton Finlay in correspondence with Stephen Bann
13 October 1969
