Away from the studio over Labor Day weekend - and a few days on either side - because my family and I were in Kaktovik, Alaska on the far northern end of the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A special trip really, that will resonate with me for years to come. I'll write more as I sort my thoughts and get back to the work at hand. For now, a collared mother bear on a gravel bar not too far from our boat!
For those of you farther from home, the three young firefighters remembered above, recently lost their lives while keeping our community safe.
Famous is a poem that Tom Zbyszewski, a local kid working summer fires, performed in his state finals for Poetry Out Loud in the spring of 2013. He may also have performed it here at Twisp's Merc Theater, as I swear that I can picture him reciting it.
In any case, it is a fine poem and a worthy tribute (I hope) to the everyday but still heroic efforts that our firefighters and many others make to keep others safe -- even at times at great cost. A humble kind of service that is inherently heroic of course, but never demanding of any particular praise or recognition. Thank you all for your service and rest in peace.
A GRRReat vacation on the Olympic Peninsula... and now its
full steam ahead and back to work. Alas, too short... And, as per usual,
I frequently exercise my own little grapplings with the world through the wise and knowing critters of
Harts Pass. Enjoy what remains of summer break!
Road trip! I'm really looking forward to taking an actual vacation next week. Alas, not a long one, but the art studio needs a little alone time.
Thankfully, real wolverines don't haul around this much stuff, or have to work, or get their kits to numerous summer activities... but my parenting/people perspective
does seem to slip its way into the strip every so often :) Hope that your own summer's are going Grand and definitely don't miss out on splashing in a mountain lake or two!
