Fellow shouldered shoulder-season-ers,

It’s camping season! At least, it is according to my annual rhythms. The hoards of mosquitoes and tourists have retreated back to the abodes from whence they came. Glacier runoff has slowed, making river crossings more possible than in the warmer days of summer. And equinox light is perfectly balanced - not too much, and not too little.

Fellow citizens of summer,

Can you feel it? Overnight, the wind has suddenly taken on a cool tinge; rustling both leaves and bare legs with a warning breath. Summer was short and sweet. I am wistful, but the seasons march on.

Fellow toilers of words,

The time travel experiment of Afterwords Japan (AWJ) is complete! And…I daresay it was a success? A sincere thanks to all of you who hopped onboard this ephemeral pop-up newsletter with me.

(A time sensitive tldr: Join me for a new pop-up newsletter that will run daily from May 7th to 31st: www.davidquiring.com/afterwordsjapan)

Greetings dear reader, from the blank canvas that is a white Winnipeg winter.

Snow is falling gently as I write this; a soft quietude floating down from the sky that has the power to settle even a city. I sip a cup of bright green tea as I stare out the window into a monochromatic world. For a moment I forget about the horns blasting Trump-isms a stone’s throw away from my home. For now, the snow covers up the sins of the world. But, spring is coming.
