Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. I’m feeling a little ashamed of myself that I only posted two times in March. I work pretty hard to keep expectations low around here when it comes to consistent posting but this is still an unacceptable circumstance. I did get some hard, lingering commitments completed (I think) that were weighing heavily on me so there’s that … but still.

Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. In this case, I am happy to present the TWENTY-EIGHTH EDITION! of the monthly sentences. For those of you new here this monthly edition, where I post the daily, single sentences that I’ve accumulated for the month-just-ended, is based on the practice that ultimately led to my first book, One-Sentence Journal, back in 2018.

We are careening toward the first big event related to IndigiPalooza MT (or IPFEST, because spelling it all out is hit and miss for me every time), the festival two friends and I are organizing in Missoula this coming August 1st and 2nd.

Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. I know this one is right on the heels of the last one and I’m really trying to avoid issuing hot takes on the day-to-day mayhem of our current National Situation but that’s just not going to be possible all the time. Not only that, but I have a couple events I need to promote, so here we are.

Boozhoo, indinawemaaganidog! Aaniin! That is to say hello, all of my relatives! Welcome to another edition of An Irritable Métis. January is really getting away from us, isn’t it? I have a pile of subjects I’ve been meaning to write about while simultaneously reckoning with a larger pile of deadlines I’m trying to wrap up by the end of the month.

Imagine yourself in a cabin, curled up on a beaten couch in the corner of the small room shared by a couple of bunk beds, a table, a counter and stove, and you. It’s night out, and an almost-full Moon was rising in the south when you went out earlier, a boreal owl barely audible from the woods. The propane-fueled fireplace is warm but doesn’t give off quite enough light to read by.

Scott Russell Sanders, in the autumn 2018 issue of Orion Magazine, wrote about grappling with his son's cancer diagnosis and how his faith has evolved over the years, and how science doesn't offer much solace in the face of deep human emotions, among other things. The article is titled "At the gates of deep darkness: examining faith in the face of tragedy"and it's worth reading, perhaps twice, if you haven't already.
