Racing down out of the mountains to make it on time to @root_general for tonight's excellent gathering. #fresno #trackingthunderbirds #californiafieldatlas All the broken hearts of the world glued back together, seeds behind the tiny owl's eye - open and shut at dusk and dawn. The sun, wind and moon gardens on the ridge of our rebirth sprout us new, washed and in our prime. What ever fear you had before, now burns away in the silence and light. #trackingthunderbirds On cool, late summer evenings in the California high-desert I can't seem to let enough light into my skull to recoup all the beauty - we gather here in the silence to listen to the mountains drum and the angels at sunset sing. They've got one song and it is the only song I ever wanted to hear. #trailpaintings #californiafieldatlas #trackingthunderbirds As the parade continues and new friends join like seeds or medals, I see a heroic garden and a constellation of proud hearts - an emerging bloom that will stun the world with its beauty. The collective strength of these singing souls whose forged chain rivals any force on the planet for steadfast resolution toward justice, sustainability and a healed, rewilded future. I have my life's work ahead of me: to draw the circuit between these flowering pulses of light - I can't wait to get to know you, to learn from what you have to give, and to count you among my very best friends. #trackingthunderbirds #californiafieldatlas I have hiked, camped, sweated, slept, dreamed and continue to adventure in all of these places, but that is not this story. The #californiafieldatlas is a catalog of an eternal face. The effort of all these maps cumulates in the democratizing of the geography; the hinterlands get as much attention as the big show-stoppers of California, like Yosemite and the Redwoods. The Field Atlas is about describing California's core systems of geography, ecology and topography and how those individual systems conspire together to become greater than the sun of their parts. #trackingthunderbirds Back inside the desert - a moment when after walking miles, my eyes merge with the sun's, and the dust has me armored in the kind of perfume dry teeth can't begin to say. All the stars will parade soon and we will wait. #trackingthunderbirds
