WE'RE BACK.
Our scheduled post didn't work last week for some reason, and y'all were sans FRIDAY BEAR last week. WHAT A TRAVESTY!!! WE'RE SORRY! You were probably wondering why the week felt so long. GAH!
Well, to make it up to you, we're sharing not one... not two... but THREE beautiful black bears. It's FRIDAY. You made it. Make that weekend amazing.
(And please accept our apology.)

Both of us loved nature, loved to see a wild landscape--the more beautiful, the freer.

I was, in fact, homesick for wildness, and when I found it I knew how intimately—how resonantly—I belonged there. We are charged with this. All of us. For the human spirit has a primal allegiance to wildness, to really live, to snatch the fruit and suck it, to spill the juice. We may think we are domesticated but we are not.
Jay Griffiths, Wild: An Elemental Journey

"To be wild is not to be crazy or psychotic. True wildness is a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown." ~ Robert Bly

Good Friday, pals! You've been gifted a sleepy sun bear for your Friday morning. (Or afternoon, or perhaps it's already the weekend, wherever you are.)
You made it to the end of the week. We're glad you're here with us.

Stories have a way of changing faces. They are unruly things, undisciplined, given to delinquency and the throwing of erasers. This is why we must close them up into thick, solid books, so they cannot get out and cause trouble.
— The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (Catherynne M. Valente)
