In preparation for my December exhibition I am pondering the duality of nature in its splendor and in its loss. Spending the day earth grounding, meditating and painting in the center of the 2024 Bridge Fire burn scar. I hear nature ask “Do You Remember Me” #onewithnature #art #pleinair #climatechange #forest by @amlart

Quick morning hike and B&W study of Strawberry Peak. I was so overwhelmed by the joy of being in nature I felt the urge to run down the switchbacks, felt like a bird flying over the bushes. Total bliss and Love.#onewithnature #art #nature #angelesnationalforest taken in Angeles National Forest by @amlart

Rumi said that “The wound is where the light enters.” I believe that happened yesterday at the art exhibition “As the Sun Rose” paintings of the Eaton Canyon Fire experience. The “wound “ our collective trauma, the “Light” each other. #altadena #altadenastrong #love #hope #healing taken in Maxwell Alexander Gallery by @amlart

I Have Returned

When the men fled the mountain in flames, when the trucks howled through the canyons, when the birds fell, ashes in their wings,I remained in the shadows pressed against the burning rock, motionless at the heart of the chaos.
I know this land.
Before the fences, before the roads, before the concrete.
I walked where the ancients carved prayers into the living skin of the stones. I drank from the springs still guarded by spirits.
I carried the memory of the world before the memory of men.
I returned when silence fell again,
heavy as the dust of ruins.
I came down from the heights
where the fire left only skeletons of trees and open scars in the flesh of the hills.
I did not knock on the door.
I did not say my name.
I sat there, on the warm earth,
facing the flickering light at the entrance.
The man came out.
He saw me. He understood.
He did not cry out, did not step back.
He placed before me fruits, honey,
as one leaves an offering to gods no longer worshipped.
I looked at him.
He bore on his face the weariness of watchers,those who know they have taken too much.
He spoke to me without words.
I answered him without voice.
Since then, every night, I return.
I watch.
I breathe.
I am the shadow on his threshold,
the memory rooted before his home.
He thinks he feeds me.
He thinks he tames me.
But it is he who is changing.
Each night, a little wilder,
a little closer to the fire,
a little closer to me.
I have returned.
And I had never left. #altadena #altadenastrong #bear #nature #animism #courage #healing #strength taken in Altadena by @amlart
