Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Author-photographer Josh Jackson grew up camping the Midwest’s state-parks but it wasn’t until he had moved to California, and after the birth of his third child, in 2015—when every California campground was booked solid—that a friend uttered the words “BLM land.” One spur-of-the-moment trip to the Trona Pinnacles cracked open a new universe: 15 million acres of under-sung, “left-over” public land in California alone. Over the next decade Jackson made pandemic-era pilgrimages to deserts, sagebrush plateaus, and the Lost Coast’s King Range, keeping a field journal, hauling a camera, and gradually uncovering two intertwined stories: A Scrappy, Essential Landscape – Bureau of Land Management parcels host wild‐and‐scenic rivers, endangered species, Indigenous cultural sites, and 60+ first-come camps where solitude still reigns. A Perpetual Target – From the Sagebrush Rebellion to Senator Mike Lee’s 2025 amendments that would auction up to 1.2 million acres, BLM lands survive only by “enduring” repeated sell-off and extraction threats. The Enduring Wild braids those threads—personal awakening, ecological portraits, Indigenous history, and political urgency—into 100 photographs and 45 k words aimed at turning anonymity into affection. Jackson’s thesis echoes Baba Dioum: “In the end, we will conserve only what we love.” His book is an invitation to know, love, and therefore defend America’s most overlooked public commons. Come down to the Henry Miller Library - browse and buy your copy of The Enduring Wild . Wallace Stegner; These are some of the things wilderness can do for us. That is the reason we need to put into effect, for its preservation, some other principle that the principles of exploitation or "usefulness" or even recreation. We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope. https://psych.utah.edu/_resources/documents/psych4130/Stenger_W.pdf Support the show _________________________________________________ This podcast is a production of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with support from The Arts Council for Monterey County!

I had the privilege of speaking with Patte Kronlund whose husband, Butch, recently passed away after a long and difficult battle with cancer. Patte and I have an open, heartfelt conversation—one marked by courage, honesty, and that shows Patte's extraordinary personal strength. She speaks about grief, love, and the quiet acts of devotion that carry us through our darkest times. Her willingness to share such intimate reflections is something I deeply respect, and I think you will, too. There’s of course also much more we could have talked about Patte than what we were able to cover here. For one Patte has been a vital part of our Big Sur community through her work with CABS , and although we touched on that in our conversation, I chose to focus this episode on her personal story. I hope we’ll return to her community work in a future episode. For now, we're simply grateful to Patte—for her openness, for her strength, and for reminding us that even in loss, there can be great beauty and connection.

Talking with Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow author of "Atomic Dreams: The New Nuclear Evangelists and the Fight for the Future of Energy." What role should nuclear power play in our energy future? Rebecca explores the unlikely resurgence of nuclear power as a climate solution — not through the lens of old Cold War anxieties, but through a new generation of thinkers, engineers, and environmentalists who see splitting the atom as a bridge to a carbon-free future. And here in California, that question hits home. Diablo Canyon — the state’s last operating nuclear plant — was on its way out. Now, it’s looking like it's on its way back in. What changed? And what does that tell us about the shifting cultural and political ground beneath our feet? Stay with us as we explore the strange, complicated afterlife of nuclear power — from protests and policy to power grids and hope.

Rachael explains that she didn't fully appreciate the significance of famous photographers from her area, like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, until later in her studies. She describes her time at Brooks Institute, where she experienced the transition from film to digital photography, and highlights the technical skills she gained there, particularly in lighting and the zone system. Rachael also mentions her focus on fine art photography and portraiture, which led to her work in wedding photography as a means to fund her artistic pursuits.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text Mary Lu had a stroke* on October 18, 2024. In this episode she speaks of the moment it happened and a bit about the past five months of slow and steady recovery. The episode is followed by a conversation from 2015 where Mary Lu tells of how she got to Big Sur "on the saddle of a Hell's Angel Harley" and what happens after that... >>>>>>>>> * some deatil about the stroke and treatment: Mary Lu had a serious stroke on the right side of her brain. The stroke was caused by a blockage in a major artery (the right internal carotid artery) due to a condition called ICAD (intracranial atherosclerotic disease — meaning hardening and narrowing of arteries inside the brain). At the time of her stroke, shortly after arriving at CHOMP, she was given clot-busting medication ( TNK ) and also, after flying up to Stanford, underwent a procedure ( EVT ) where doctors tried to physically remove the blockage. They used a balloon to open up the artery and made three attempts to retrieve the clot, eventually getting partial blood flow back (about 50-70%, known as TICI 2b reperfusion). Unfortunately, there was some bleeding afterward in the area of the brain where she had the stroke, including bleeding into the fluid spaces of the brain (IVH = intraventricular hemorrhage). An MRI before the procedure showed: A major stroke deep in the right side of the brain (basal ganglia area). Some smaller strokes in nearby brain areas (insular and temporal lobes). A small brain bleed in the right frontal area. Ongoing blockage in the main artery supplying the right side of the brain. Cause of Stroke: The stroke likely happened because pieces of plaque from the narrowed artery in her neck broke off and traveled into her brain (called "artery-to-artery embolism"). Post-Stroke Symptoms and Recommendations: Mary Lu is dealing with some ongoing issues, including: Sleep problems Pain on the left side of her body (the stroke affected the right side of her brain, which controls the left side of the body) Some vision issues Recommendations: Drink less water before bedtime to help with sleep. Talk to her primary doctor, Danielle Glazer, about adjusting sleep or nerve pain medications (like Lyrica or Trazodone ). Increase movement as much as possible (to help both pain and sleep), and continue physical and occupational therapy. She's been referred to a rehabilitation specialist (PM&R doctor) to help with recovery, and to an eye doctor for her vision problems.

Good links: Register for the event on August 30 at the Henry Miller Library Lowell Celebrates Kerouac Unitarian Universalist Faith Books by Steve Edington Summary Stephen D Edington, a Unitarian Universalist minister, discusses his personal journey and the influence of Jack Kerouac on his spiritual beliefs. He shares how he transitioned from a conservative Baptist upbringing to a more liberal interpretation of Christianity and eventually found his place in the Unitarian Universalist faith. Steve explains his belief in a higher power and the importance of self-discovery in his spiritual journey. He also discusses his involvement in the Lowell Celebrates Kerouac festival and the continued interest in Kerouac's writings among different generations. Jack Kerouac was a complex figure who embodied multiple identities and roles. He was seen as an intellectual, spiritual, romantic, and cultural icon. While he was not overtly political, he had revolutionary and messianic qualities. Kerouac was both an intellectual and an athlete, excelling in academics and sports. His driving force was his duty to write, which he considered his purpose on Earth. He sought recognition as a major American writer and inspired others to pursue their own creative journeys. Kerouac's life ended tragically, but his writing continues to inspire and resonate with readers. Sound Bites! "I was raised in a pretty conservative Baptist church in southern West Virginia." "I believe there is some reality or some power that is greater than myself." "I've always felt like I've been on some kind of a journey of discovery throughout my life." "He's an intellectual, he is spiritual, he is romantic." "He might have blanched a little bit at political." "He was both intellectual and athlete." Below is the Kerouac presentation/sermon Steve Edington will be presenting at the Palo Alto Unitarian Universalist Church on the 25th of August. Why Jack Kerouac Matters In 1988 I came to Nashua, New Hampshire to begin what turned out to be a 24 year ministry with the Unitarian Universalist Church there. One of my colleagues in our district ministers’ chapter was your minister, Amy Morgenstern, who was serving a congregation in Vermont. She eventually made her way westward here to Palo Alto, and I stayed in New England. We’ve kept up our friendship over the years. One of our points of connection was and is our affinity for some of the Beat Generation writers; and, for me, Jack Kerouac in particular.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text We lost Iguana John Thursday morning, May 23. He died from heart failure at the Community Hospital. John was born John Carlin in January of 1956. Many of us here in Big Sur have been touched by John. He did indeed have an Iguana on his shoulder for many years. Both his parents were deaf so John signed fluent ALS (American sign language). He lived for many years at Kay Shorts house in Coastlands, he also lived on Pfeiffer Ridge and for the past several years he was the caretaker at the Henry Miller Library. Seeing him sign with deaf guests at the library is unforgettable. He came to life with the love of 'speaking' in the way he knew so well. We love John and we miss him. John leaves behind his sister Sheryl Pierce, his brother Paul Carlin, and his niece Nicole Burnett. At the time of writing this there's no plan yet for a memorial gathering. If and when that happens it will be announced on Big Sur local social media sites. The audio you hear is John and Magnus driving to the hospital at a previous occasion. /Magnus PS. John lived in his van for the past 12 years or so. He was a war veteran, a short stint in Vietnam. He had little Buddha’s and prayer flags placed inside his van in several places. He thought of a spiritual realm through the teachings of the Buddha.
