As our mountains burn in Wyoming and the fire grows closer to our towns, with some having already lost their homes, I have been thinking about what I would pack to save and what I would leave behind to burn. My heart goes out to you, and your words about the wisdom in the timing of loss are a potent reminder. My heart is so heavy for the Appalachian Mountains and the Bighorns. I saw someone say that our mountains will never be the same in our lifetime, and it’s almost too much for my heart to bear. I’m trying to digest the lessons and the rebirth. Bless you for your writing; it is medicine for the moment. ❤️🔥
I'm sorry to hear that Lacey. I didn't even know. The Hurricane is getting all the news. Being from Colorado, I understand deeply what you are faced with. Be safe and I'll send some rains your way
Adam - That sketch is wonderful! (Says Saturn-ruled me). It seems that we are indeed in a Ketu time...losses everywhere. I'm so sorry about your loss of carefully chosen treasures. That's hard. My heart breaks for Appalachia and the regular people just trying to live their lives in the Mid-East... Brutal.
I'm just coming up for air after getting my house ready to sell. It's been a real shit-show these last couple weeks and I may lose a long-term friendship because of it. But the shit show has helped me let go of so much. Last Saturday morning, I drove up to my house and found that the vines I'd spent the last two years training to cover the concrete wall in front of my house had been chopped off and it looked like someone had used a hedge-trimmer to prune the blueberry bush by my front porch. Plants I'd babied were ripped up. Ground cover removed... I lost it. I don't get overly attached to the houses I live in but the gardens are my babies. Today I've been working at letting go of my anger at the boundary violations while standing my ground about paying for it. Your art work seems to be doing a thing around holding everything in a larger context (does that seem accurate?) and honestly, due to another commitment I had for the last month to my community, holding the larger context and staying connected to it is the only reason I made it through.
your poor vines! Did you friend do that? Or an innocent gardener? I'm sorry to hear that. And thank you for the kind words about the art path. I think you are right, yes. It's become something else entirely. It's a nice addition to my writing for sure
My “friend” hired some hack gardeners who don’t seem to know much about gardens, plants or soil. They’re good with a pressure washer though… I’m at a loss as to why anyone would do what was done. So yeah… one way to let go. It doesn’t look or feel like mine anymore.
Your art feels really alive Adam!✨So cool to see the gods showing up adding to your dialogue in this way. I love it✨So sorry for the loss of your possessions and your friend’s tiny house. And ya, it’s easy to lose sight of Saturns wisdom when you’re suffering. There truly is deep wisdom in the timing of loss, perfect really….Praise 🪐 Saturn✨🙏🏽✨

Keep drawing! Each one gets better... I love it.
