 Lifetimes With Fire 
That's the title of an article by the poet Gary Snyder in this month's Sierra magazine. He lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills on land that he settled in 1970. He is practicing what he preaches; learning about the land and region in which he lives and making it a better place. It's easy to think that one day we'll find the place of our dreams, which is usually elsewhere. In the meantime we live our lives without really caring for the place we know best and where we spend our time, right here, right now. I look forward to reading Gary's new book of essays in which the above article appears, Back on the Fire.
