    Field trip to ƛ̕ ax̌ʷadis (Tl’ awh-ah-dees) Park. KBA, Inc came back to see the park they helped through construction. Dear friends from Molina came to pitch in again. And as always, you were there. It was hot, there were mosquitos. We stayed in the shade, took breaks. Looked for Himalayan blackberry hiding in the salmonberry, learned bird’s-foot trefoil, avoided nettles. Talked about salmon, who are coming home very soon, talked about the relationship between plants and fish, talked about the degradation Euro-American settlement has brought to this land. Talked about healing, worked at healing. Sweaty, bitten, tired, we cooled with popsicles KBA generously shared, shared with each other, then…

    “Every autumn Black-capped Chickadees allow brain neurons containing old information to die, replacing them with new neurons so they can adapt to changes in their social flocks and environment even with their tiny brains” (from All About Birds). May we all be so open to new information.

"We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations."
― Pope John Paul II

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
