Later, when we were looking for a place in Joshua Tree I was excited to hear he lived there and read his entire blog in one sitting.
This is my favorite post of his:
WAIT A SECOND…CHANCE? HOMESTEAD?
So much of it resonates with me, and with why we're building a home in Joshua Tree. He writes,
Here's his memorial page, if you want to check in with friends, or leave your thoughts.Going forward I want to plant a tree. Maybe one I should have planted a long time ago.I want it to take root in the desert soil and in the same light of the Southern California sun that formed me. And I want to be an integral part of the life sustaining process — to recover my sanity by living, breathing and working the land.I want to begin and nurture a sustainable life, challenging the way I live, act and think about myself and the world around me.
