The 12/12 Light Portal Has Fully Opened in My Living Room!
by nielskunze on December 12, 2013
Okay, this is just a regular lamp with a 60 watt incandescent bulb in it. Last night it went “supernova”! For months it operated like a 60 watt lamp should, shedding just enough light to illuminate my computer station. Then (…)
The Daily Forest Report November 30, 2013 Forced From the Beaten Path
by nielskunze on November 30, 2013
Today, the message itself has forced me from the familiar path. With the quick freeze earlier this month, the river bed has become choked with ice, causing the water to spill its banks… again. Sitka and I were forced to (…)
The Daily Forest Report November 27, 2013 The Fear Factor
by nielskunze on November 27, 2013
As winter has slapped us upside the head like a cold dead fish, it’s more difficult to get out there every day, especially with a young puppy tagging along. This gives me an opportunity to occasionally answer reader questions instead (…)
The Daily Forest Report November 9, 10, 2013 Nourishment from Visual Impressions
by nielskunze on November 9, 2013
“How do you feed your soul?” Soul food comes in whispers from a world that refuses to diminish its own beauty. It’s everywhere in subtle disguise. Sometimes the message is so simple and clear that it is received virtually undetected. (…)

(Author Narration) Now that last month I convinced you that I never do rewrites, here’s a friggin’ rewrite. Oops! This is a very old story. It’s my best bear story. For many years it has only existed on the website (…)
Bob’s Plan
by nielskunze on October 21, 2013
I was going to call this piece “God’s Plan,” but I figured that such a title would immediately turn off the scientific-minded-skeptic crowd while simultaneously teasing the ra-ra-religious crowd. “Bob” works so much better than “God” on so many levels. (…)
The Daily Forest Report October 7, 2013 Expectations For Abundance
by nielskunze on October 7, 2013
Squirrel spends so much time laughing at himself that I had to get the goods from Chipmunk instead. As it turns out, the gifts or offerings along my route are actually a combined effort of both Squirrel and Chipmunk. “How (…)
The Daily Forest Report September 28/29, 2013 It’s Just Your Imagination
by nielskunze on September 28, 2013
It very much seems that the mycelial network just beneath the forest floor really is the Earth’s cerebral cortex. And as such, it has much to say in regards to consciousness itself. The fruiting bodies of its mentation– the mushrooms– (…)
Lions, Dogs and Me… Oh My!
by nielskunze on September 1, 2013
The darkness into which I awoke was absolute, the silence unfathomably deep. Yesterday there had been a moon; there were stars. And now… I rolled over and carefully felt around beside me for the handle to the wood stove. A (…)
