The Coming Rain - Hurricane Helene Tribute

 

Drawn in empathy for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Feeling especially heartbroken today for those suffering from Hurricane Helene -- especially friends and family in Western North Carolina, where I grew up and spent my childhood years (through college), now dealing with flooding on a catastrophic scale never before seen.
So many old and familiar places in the Blue Ridge Mountains -- Asheville, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain -- now devastated and laid to waste. Ways to help.

"I went out for a walk..."


“I only went out for a walk,
and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,
for going out, I found,
was really going in.”
— John Muir, 1938

the poetry of the sea

"But where, after all, 
would be the poetry of the sea 
were there no wild waves?”

"Where Nature May Heal and Give Strength"


verybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in,
where nature may heal and give strength
to body and soul alike. - John Muir, The Yosemite (1912).

"content creator"


(a wry reflection on how participating in social media 
can devolve into an  obsession/compulsion to produce “content” 
in a perpetual, if fleeting, search for attention … 
and not without some irony, sharing on social media. go figure!)
