DeShawna Joe sought a quest after losing her 16-YO daughter. So she ran four 200-mile races in a year.

"Being out there suffering helps you center who you are again."

She now works to inspire other Native runners with her motto: DINÉ STRONG - Navajo Strong

A Miracle of Nature [Grand Canyon, Arizona (A Miracle of Nature) (Zoroaster Peak, Grand Cañon)] by Thomas Moran, 1872, U.S. Department of the Interior Museum (Washington DC, United States)

#ArtHistory #Romanticism #HudsonRiverSchool
Chalky sediment and earthy ochres define this colossal vista. Moran's aggressive brushwork carves sharp ecological strata, contrasting with atmospheric washes that blur distant peaks into a sublime haze. This dramatic chiaroscuro generates an overwhelming awe for nature's raw power. Moran's radical choice was to render the geologic sublime as a spiritual revelation. Moran was a key figure in the Hudson River School and the Rocky Mountain School of landscape painting. "Miracle of Nature" was created during a period of heightened interest in the American West, fueled by exploration, railroad expansion, and the desire to document and celebrate the nation's natural resources. It exemplifies the Luminist style, focusing on light and atmospheric effects. The painting contributed to the growing national park movement, influencing public opinion and ultimately leading to the establishment of Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon as protected areas.

Rug of the Day

Navaho blanket, found in a cave in the Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, along with the mummified skeletons of local people massacred in 1805 in a punitive raid by Spanish invaders. This may be the oldest extant native weaving in America.

Das Bild zeigt ein Haus der Navajo

Bei ihnen war der erste Mensch intergeschlechtlich ⚥. So wurden inter- u. Transpersonen hoch angesehen.

In diesem Sinne werfe ich einen Blick auf Personen jenseits der Geschlechtergrenzen in verschiedenen Kulturen und Zeiten:

Bosque Redondo Memorial near Fort Sumner NM has a hallway of murals painted by Navajo artist (& IAIA alum) Shonto Begay. One side depicts Navajo (or Diné) being forced south, the other the U.S. Military forcing them south. Walk thru & guns become pointed at you & you can't help having strong feels.

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today.

Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock.

Great grandchild of Condor # 1.

We as humanity can still do good things.

Good morning on another wonderful day. Photos from Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park in Sedona. “Calm your mind. Life is much easier when you keep your mind at peace.” Buddha

We are going to be intentionally provoked. The only sane response is nonviolence.
