Worth stopping the car for and fumbling around for the camera in the dark while moving your Dad’s stuff out of his house in preparation for the scattering of his ashes, that’s for sure!
The heron is a steady and beautiful bird, who also takes the right amount of time, or more! Yes, it was very good, this leafing through the sea. Thanks.
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.
Amazingly beautiful.

Thanks. We set him to sea with my mother beautifully today. His house is empty. It feels like a strong new world at last.

I’m late getting here. Heron is beautiful; she/he is my totem. I’m glad you were able to send your dad to the sea and turn a leaf.
