Another great piece! Love this exploration of the far-reaching, generative impact that invested, active citizens can have in their communities. Thanks for launching this hopeful, helpful reminder into the universe after a rough week of set backs in the U.S.
Thank you for this. It's such a powerful reminder that community and place isn't just luck but an active choice. You have me thinking about what is mine to protect.
Wonderful, insightful piece. Love how you make the specific universal. Your discussion about the protection and revitalization of the river (tailings is such an odd and appropriate word, isn’t it?) reminded me of the food forest movement which began in the Netherlands (“The” Netherlands?). Life could be so easily in our grasp, so amazing, so perfect if it was not for our inability to keep our grubby fingers off the merchandise. Guess that leaves the question: why can’t we? Great work, Kelton.
My brother and I are discussing where to go now. I know your location is top secret, but what's the largest closest town to you? Right now we're looking at hiking the Black Canyon in Gunnison but we're very wide open....

Whew, been a rough one.
That's all wonderful and those photos are spectacular. Coming to Colorado next month and excited to be in the mountains again!
Oooh amazing, let me know if you find yourself in the SW corner!

Great comment! I’m thinking: what beauteous work of art can I let flourish today?

"grubby fingers off the merchandise" indeed. We're a sad but hopeful lot!
"Hopeful" intrigues me. Hopeful for what? (Rhetorical quesh)
great post, love the message as well as the pics! 💜
Thanks, Sue!
Great research and writing. Specific to where you are but a universally necessary message. Thanks for all the time you put into your writing!
Thank you!
Wow.
