The folks down the road have been making magic to see the New Year in with true artfulness! Obviously, with a send-off like that, it’s going to be a great year.
Blessings to you and all of your friends, neighbours and loved ones!
I am working at rebuilding human relationships to the earth, growing the global from the local and developing new environmental technologies out of close observation of the land. The land is the watershed and run of the Okanagan River in the North American West, and the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and basins that surround it. It is the goal of this blog to build the future now and to do it through attention to art, earth, science and beauty, so that there is, actually, a future for our children and a path for them to feel out their way to the earth should they ever find themselves in the dark. The project will lead to two book manuscripts in the summer of 2013, one on the salmon of the Okanagan River, the last major run on the Columbia system, and the other on the connection between the Manhattan Project and the political and industrial face of Eastern Washington and Southern British Columbia. They will do so within the broader context of land-based technologies, in forms that are simultaneously art and science. In this land without borders, there is no international line at the 49th parallel, cutting our country in two, and no imagined wall between settler and indigenous cultures. We are all walking together. We are all the land speaking.
Obviously, with a send-off like that, it’s going to be a great year.
Blessings to you and all of your friends, neighbours and loved ones!
And to you, Harold — and your neighbourly snowlady with her fetching chapeau!

We had a Family onslaught. Enjoyed it very much. The last bunch leaving for airport, at 6 PM.
It was “Sweet”, but exhausting.
Cheers and Good Health! from “The Bears”
