been traveling high and low trying to find my way back home

Our sweet girl turned one today and we just can’t believe how fast the time has gone. Nila Frances Woolf, our little Lala bug, you have completed our family and we love you so very much. 🐛❤️

Somehow we have a FOUR YEAR OLD!!! Happy birthday to my wild and wonderful little big love. I adore everything about you, satya jane ❤️‍🔥🧁🎉

i just want to tell you about all the crazy shit that has happened since we last talked. i don’t think you’d believe half of it. bower tattooed your initials on a couple dozen people off your panhead at the shop, but then the dingus rewired it goofy and it caught on fire while i was riding down fourth street like that time at the mexico border on your shovelhead. tiffany and i broke down in the rain at midnight and then she cried so hard in my garage her nose bled out everywhere. the stains are still there. amulet threw a fucking party in your honor and we all went to st. pete and did the damn thing. all of these people you brought together have spent four weeks celebrating and mourning and crying and laughing and mostly just missing you and trying to find comfort in each other. thank you for bringing us all together. a lot of us don’t like crowds as much as you did, and so many of us wouldn’t even know each other if it hadn’t been for you. we were never good at admitting when it hurts, but we tried our best. i’m still trying, charlie. i’m doing the best i can. i miss you, dude. thanks for introducing me to so many incredible people. love ya chall.

it is easier to say that nothing matters than it is to invest your whole heart into the few things that do. things that matter cheat sheet: 1) family / friends / community 2) kindness 3) creativity 4) things which bring joy 5) principled action, in all things and here are 20 pictures from the last year that matter to me, in case i forget.

happy birthday prema. i’ve never been more compelled to be close to someone, or something. which is really saying something, considering i literally spent half my life chasing heroin and rock cocaine up and down the state of california. but i mean it. from that one day in that one room 8+ years ago when i decided couldn’t breathe one more breath without speaking to you all the way to like last night when you were annoyed with me because i was being annoying, when we aren’t talking i feel like i’m wasting my life. i love you. thanks for letting me hitch my wagon to you as you travel around the sun year after year. you’re the greatest person i’ve ever known and our girls and i are dumb fuckin lucky to have you. happy birthday mama

Chawwie’s getting married, let’s ride motorcycles about it. Shasta / Southern Oregon / Humboldt Coast

sixteen days in may

3/21/25, 4:30am: Nila Frances Woolf Gebhardt, like her older sister before her, said “due date? nah I’m good let’s get this show on the road” a little over a week early. We’re exhausted, delirious, and overjoyed to welcome little Nila into our family. Seeing Satya transition into the big girl in the house has been surreal and magical, and we’re so proud of how she has taken to her new role as big sister. Welcome to earth, Nila Bila, little Lala, NFWG, we love you and we’re so happy you came to be with us. love, mom and dad

it’s crazy because there was a point when i didn’t even want this. it was impossible to imagine fatherhood being anything but an imposition and i was already unwilling to come up much short of living a completely self-centered life to begin with. love plays tricks on us though, mischievously coaxes us into making decisions that are bigger than us, bigger than our own self-interest. Three years ago today my little girl was born and the world wasn’t mine anymore it was hers. my job here now is to hold up the walls and the skies of this world of hers and give her a safe place to grow up and into herself, and a safe place to land when the world knocks her down. And she’s three today, but in some ways it feels like there wasn’t a world before her at all. It’s her world now, my whole world is hers. Maybe it’s always been hers, maybe I just didn’t know what I was doing until her mom came along and pointed me in the right direction. idk. it’s not really about me. it’s just all about her. she’s really the most incredible thing that’s ever happened. happy birthday little girl, i love you. Unconditionally yours, forever, Dad.
