Paicines, California
This regenerative ranch is one of my favorite places on earth, and this was my favorite visit. Shortly before these photos were taken, the rains returned after two decades of drought, transforming what I’d always experienced as a dry place into something lush, dewy, and so very green.

This weekend marked the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a moment in American history when Alabama state troopers violently attacked 600 peaceful protestors crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma. Edmund Pettus was a confederate general and KKK leader, but because those protesters marched, the bridge named after him will always be iconic of Civil Rights. The actions of the state troopers there also backfired, moving more people to join the march. By the time protesters reached their destination of Birmingham, they numbered 25,000.
Today, as resegregation grips the United States, I’m reflecting on Bloody Sunday, and these words from John Lewis, whose skull was cracked on this bridge.
“Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don't be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself.”

I love a good California beach, even when it’s crowded.

The stormier it gets around me, the more I need to stop and notice those moments when I still feel the sun.
