He's very shy but been making progress. been leaving food out twice a day for him and a few others. he used to run on sight, but with a lot of treats I finally got to pet him yesterday. I'm hoping to get him into the house before the snow hits us.

I have some spare room and warmth, but I'm not sure I want any more anarchy than a 7yo creates in my house.

    I am old school anarchist. More idealist and Wu Wei, there is this quote I love, it's from a Norwegian show, and it's about the friendship of a like 14 yo girl growing up, and a "fallen pastor".

    Anyway, she says to him something like, "I don't care that I can't, I want that thing!" or something along those lines, and he goes

    "The older I get the less I focus on what I want, and more on what is possible."

    It really stuck with me, and it is something I have come to learn to appreciate over the years. Don't focus so much on the particulars, it's the big picture that matters.

    I live in Sweden. If I ever come to wherever you live, I will gladly share your room and warmth and play games with your 7 yo son, but for now I will survive on my own wherever I am.
