Valle Cochamó

 



I was young when I was first introduced to Valle Cochamó in Chile. The adults around me at the time felt it was inevitable that the area would eventually succumb to development.

More than thirty years later, it looks like conservation efforts may ultimately succeed. I think there are roughly two months left to raise the funds needed to purchase this land and protect it?

An incredible combination of luck and effort over decades made this precious moment of hope and possibility a reality.

Every revolution begins here."

Days Of Awe

 



pushing off from the bank

after a long scout

oh, the nerves

in the calm water

above the rapid

lining up landmarks

in anticipation

as the river pulls you

towards the horizon

An Idea

 



Ben is drawing in a new style I think would translate beautifully to rugs. I found a company in India that can make them in a 5' by 7' size for 30,000 rupees a piece. I want to investigate options further before pulling the trigger, but I like the idea of one of these in his room.

気休め

 


The luminous world of Hiroshi Yoshida woodblocks


in a time of madness and horrors.


Also meeting the moment, tales of magic and heroes.

O heart weighed down by so many wings
