cj and i spent a few days in the desert of southern utah,
courtesy of SUWA.
we met people from new jersey, illinois, idiana, wisconsin, minnesota, colorado, california, and utah.
all of them understand the importance and history of this land.
we want to preserve it for you
and for future generations.
i was oh so grateful to be able to walk through the dry, harsh landscape.
despite the land's tortured climate,
life manages to thrive there.
beating all odds.
it's truly a magical place.
you must visit this place
and feel
its heartbeat.
hasen and i played the guitar and sang around the fire.
the river stole my heart and my soul,and returned them anew.
water. even in the "desert."
only here do we find gratitude for
such a necessity.
though we spent hours and hours
brainstorming
about how to save this place...
i felt lucky to be far away,in a place where everything
is real.
best of all,i was there with ceej.
he bleeds for southern utah.
it has given him life.
