Vieques Nurtures Spirit
Nature nurtures spirit. While in Vieques I devoured two books by Jim Harrison, The Raw and the Cooked and his memoir Off to the Side. Gobbled up whole with every cell in my being his spending hours and hours in nature in order to prepare for and recover from being in the world and how it taxes the soul. Vieques was the perfect place to read this message. A tiny island of brave fishermen who faced down the U.S. Navy after 7 decades of NATO war games and reclaimed their right to paradise. An unbelievable David and Goliath story. What spirit nature nurtures on Vieques. And in us all.
