The Peace of Wild Things...
Welcome back.
In this hour, we talk to Salmon Girl - a longtime SoHum resident & outspoken member of the community.
She talks about the vast changes she’s witnessed in & around her beloved home over the past 40 years - about the shift from Wilderness to encroaching Industry and pollution - including sound, visual, and environmental - taking its toll all around.
We speak about the loss of connection to the land itself.
Both physical but also spiritual as well.
About the problems surrounding Regulation - which, in many ways, is geared to support and promote Industry, above any real concern for the natural habitat.
She tells us her own ideas about the marijuana plant - in her words, a “white-man luxury crop” - and the “cult” she sees having sprung up around it’s cultivation, use and promotion.
As always, our hope here is to incite useful, instructive and in-depth conversation.
These words may leave you with more unanswered questions.
But may they also spur you to find the solutions, as well.
Oftentimes, it’s from the places of deep questioning, and heartache - that we unearth our own Salvation.
We hope you enjoy.
