do something. anything.

As an artist, I often think I’m not good enough — yet.
Still build­ing to what I could be,
but not quite there.
Want­ing to embrace what might be,
but feel­ing too unpol­ished and exper­i­men­tal to try.
What if it isn’t about art,
but the art of let­ting it go–
Into the wild
to pur­sue it’s own life.
Do some­thing. Any­thing.
Then let it go.

Mountain Spirit

Ear­lier this year I had the amaz­ing oppor­tu­nity to visit Peru to explore a story about moun­tain guides. How­ever, when I arrived there and started work­ing on it, I real­ized there was an even deeper story.

Being in the Andes reminded me about what I love the moun­tains. The Andes are mag­nif­i­cent, not only in their beauty, but also in the peo­ple that live & work there. I was inspired not only by the com­pany of our group but sim­ply by the energy that exists there. In the moun­tains, daily tasks are ori­ented toward food, shel­ter, sleep, and com­mu­nity. There is more space to reflect & appre­ci­ate. It is in that space, change can happen.

When I asked Julio why he was guid­ing, he talked about a change he saw in peo­ple after vis­it­ing the Andes and I instantly under­stood. Being a guide myself, I’ve seen it as well. It is one of the most amaz­ing expe­ri­ences to be a part of. I was intrigued how this drew him into guid­ing. The story that unfolded was of fam­ily, strug­gle, and inspi­ra­tion. I found it a lit­tle dif­fi­cult to con­vey in a 5 minute spot, but you can watch it here.

ESAR is hiring new volunteers!

King County Explorer Search and Rescue King County Explorer Search and Res­cue is a 100% vol­un­teer orga­ni­za­tion, so there’s really not hir­ing involved, just recruit­ment of peo­ple who are inter­ested in help­ing oth­ers & sav­ing lives.

ESAR only accepts new mem­bers dur­ing it’s train­ing sea­son, and the 2011–2012 train­ing sea­son has begun. You can see new dates posted on www.kcesar.org, so get your back­packs and come out to training!

I’m often asked is: how does it work? Is it super time con­sum­ing? See my answer & last year’s grad­u­a­tion slideshow after the jump.
