I always get a chuckle out of these bear adventures.
As I continue being a bear, I have generally become better at various bear related skills and activities than I once was. I am a better climber of trees than I once was. I am a better eater of forest floor leaves than I once was. I am a better understander of squirrels than I once was (though they certainly still confuse me to no end).
I am, generally, a better overall bear than I once was. Or, at least, Ifeel like I am a better overall bear than I once was. I take pride in that fact. My bearness has grown. It has gotten better. It is better prepared for other potential bear related problems. I am a better bear. I do not often get to reflect on the growth of my bearness and any positive changes it has undergone over my time being a bear (which…

gnawing at my heart
at my stomach
my world isn’t quite right
when I can’t be sure
that you are still in it
you have severed yourself from all the usual
technologies that you find so cold
sources of connected disconnection
I admire your ability to so fully reject this modern technology
but it leaves me with hands empty of you
my dear friend
I think about placing a call the old-fashioned way
but I am all out of quarters
and payphones have become almost extinct
only found in the Smithsonian
next to a manual typewriter
and Archie Bunker’s La-Z-Boy
you wouldn’t open the door
to a stranger
if I sent a telegram
I know you would appreciate the whimsy
of a tin can stretched between our houses
but I don’t have 2,700 miles of string
