    About this ebook

    With the spectacular coastline, forests, meadows, and, of course, the mighty Rogue River of southwestern Oregon and northern California as backdrops, Shawn Michel de Montaigne offers this collection of essays, thoughts, and meditations. From praise and gratitude to protest and outrage, Montaigne pulls no punches and offers no quarter.

    My Rogue Mile was originally a weekly feature on Montaigne's Google Plus profile, and were written both in the run-up to the November 2016 general election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and for a short time after. Trump illegally and illegitimately "won," of course, and what was originally a collection with a much more nature-based theme transformed into a strong political one. The United States is facing an existential crisis, Montaigne observes, a genuine battle between good and evil. My Rogue Mile reflects the outrage that any sane individual would, and should, feel at the daily outrages against American democracy and its institutions by the cabal of jackals who have taken the reins of government.

    The photographs are all his, taken with a ten-year-old digital camera and edited for presentability.

    Author

    Shawn Michel de Montaigne

    I'm a writer, illustrator, and fractalist. A wonderer, wanderer, and an unapologetic introvert. I'm a romantic; I'm inspired by the epic, the authentic, the numinous, and the luminous. Most of all, I'm blessed. I'm very deeply involved with an extraordinary, beautiful woman who has been with me now for a decade. We have forged, through awful times and amazing ones, a life that I feel every morning is worth waking up to and contributing to. I'm interested in connecting with folks who enjoy my art and would like to be part of whichever world or worlds I've discovered and shared. I'm deeply political, philosophical, and opinionated; and I have no patience with manipulators, salespersons, stalkers, bullshit artists, and the psychotic and insane. For that reason, I'm not everyone's cup o' tea. I'm good with that. Most of all, as I said at the beginning, I'm blessed. If you would know anything about me or my attitude as I go through my days, that's the truest and most relevant one.

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
