This is stunning and so moving. I feel like I was there as much as I could be with out having been there in my body. As you so wonderfully said, you “worked mythically, spiritually, and relationally. We made love visible.”

That is indeed so true. Thanks for sharing, for who you are, and for this vital, vital work and modeling how we can and need to live in these dangerous times.

I’m so inspired by this joyful, hopeful, creative and loving attention to the Great Salt Lake. “We walked slowly to counter human leaders hastening harm. We walked with water's unyielding and soft strength, bringing beauty to answer cruelty.” Thank you for your witness and for modeling love in action.

The photographs are a wonderful documentation. In my limited experience in governance the sheer presence of bodies in opposition is one of the most powerful motivators for change. It is inspiring to see the happy and light hearted in protest, less polarity more humanity.

This captured it all perfectly. Thank you for being the holder of the space for such wonder and delight to come forth. So large was your capacity that it grew by leaps and bounds. Great Salt Lake has powerful caretakers.

Yes, indeed, and one of them has spines! Our collective capacity will answer the challenge. We will be finished when the lake is replenished.
