In a Grove

When I hiked up Bishop Peak in San Luis Obispo, I enjoyed it so much I wrote it up for California Explorer (May/June 2014). Since then I’ve wondered about the other ancient volcanic plugs that make up the nine sisters, a group that starts with Morro Rock and ends at Islay Hill in the southeast corner of San Luis Obispo.

The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs…

The image of smoke is tied somewhat ironically to both the act of destruction and the ability to engender complexities out of the raw materials of the earth. Smoke is indicative of fire -- a tool that has been simultaneously feared and utilized by humans for millennia.
