The center…? I don’t know. Since we are the capitol city of NM, perhaps our state symbol as at the Capitol building, Or the full name of our city with its founding date? The point is that no one statement would impinge on anyone else or dominate, all statements equally available to the public, and in a form very difficult to deface.

ecently, I got a very fired-up email from a fellow animal lover who was very concerned about a social media post she saw about a homeless person and their dog. The post showed a photo of the person with his dog—who appeared healthy and happy—and the narrative was a rather melodramatic one that slung a whole lot of assumptions about this person’s ability to care for a pet.

The gist of her message was that because this person was homeless they must be ne-

the resources he needed to make sure he was well cared for.

The assumptions made by well-meaning community members that because he doesn’t have a home meant that he couldn’t properly care for his companion animal were not only false, but outright offensive. This man and his companion are family.

So yeah, it got me fired up…just not in the way I think she’d hoped I’d be.

A dear friend of mine, Karen Cain, is the founder and executive director of SHAP, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In 1998, when she moved to Santa Fe, she drove around town with the trunk of her car packed with food, asking the homeless if their companion animals needed food or veterinary care.

Now, all these many years later, Karen and her SHAP team are trusted in the community—receiving phone calls and meeting clients to deliver food, leashes, harnesses and anything else they might need to better care for their companion animals. Most importantly, SHAP arranges both preventative and emergency (often very expensive) veterinary services for these beloved companion animals. In fact, Karen and SHAP have had a wonderful partnership with Santa Fe Animal Shelter for years, and we support all of their efforts in as many ways as we can.

SHAP serves 150 to 300 clients each year with the sole purpose of keeping companion animals with their humans. To me, that’s a pretty noble mission. To learn more about their exceptional work in our community or to donate, visit them online at nmshap.org. And do me a favor? Please donate to them if you can. Every penny they raise goes back into helping people and their companion animals—and it’s a really beautiful thing. Sometimes love has no address.

CO

The Truth About Homeless People and Their Pets

glecting and abusing their pet, and should not be allowed to have one. She was soliciting donations so that she could buy the dog from the homeless person and rehome him to a more “worthy” owner. The email was basically to demand that I have City Animal Services take custody of the dog and get it away from “those people.”

This fired-up email and the social media post got me really fired up. And let me tell you why.

There was a time in my adult life when I was homeless. For as much success as I’ve enjoyed professionally over the years, there was a brief time when my choices led me to a place where I had no safety net or job prospects. I was fortunate that I never had to live on the streets or in my car; I had friends who were able to let me stay with them until I could get back on my feet. But make no mistake, I was homeless.

I was lucky, though. I had a wonderful support system around me, and it isn’t lost on me that without that, I could have just as easily been living in my car with two very old dogs and an even older cat, begging for money on street corners.

When I was on top and making lots of money, my pets wanted for nothing. I made their food fresh every week. I made sure they had regular visits to the vet, and their prescriptions were always filled.

And guess what? When I was homeless, none of that changed. They still wanted for nothing and were always made a priority over my own well-being. And if it wasn’t for the structure and accountability that having to care for them gave me, I probably would have wallowed longer in my own self pity.

It was the darkest time of my life, and they helped keep me sane. They kept me company. They kept me hopeful.

Fun fact for all those people out there whose privilege blinds you from a more compassionate point of view: Homeless people would rather sleep on the street with their pets than go into a shelter without them.

Read that last sentence again. That was the hard truth running through my mind as I read this woman’s diatribe of judgements and assumptions. Upon further investigation, we learned that this person and his dog were connected with a wonderful organization dedicated to helping homeless people and their pets called Street Homeless Animal Project (SHAP). So his dog was receiving plenty of food, water and veterinary care. He was taking his responsibility for his dog very seriously and getting

Company lets Santa Fe employees carpe the means of production, has plans for more

uddy Roybal spent 36 years building a loyal customer base and a team of devoted employees at Coronado Paint and Decorating on Cerrillos Road. So when he finally decided it was time to retire at 76, he wanted to ensure a good future.

“We had an opportunity to sell Coronado several times, but it just didn’t seem like a good fit,” Roybal says. He wanted to make sure his employees were taken care of and keep his business’ impeccable reputation.

Enter Teamshares, a three-year-old company that buys small businesses from retiring owners and converts their ownership to employees. By selling to Teamshares, Roybal hoped everything would remain essentially the same for his 22 employees—their salaries, 401(k)s and other benefits would remain intact—and they’d get a share in the business.

The Teamshares model grants employees stock in the business they work for, and aims to preserve its legacy and work cul-

ture. The ultimate goal, says Jaimen Sfteko, a spokeswoman for Teamshares, is to narrow the wealth inequality gap in America.

“If you look at the people who have money and the people who don’t, the difference is that they don’t own things— they might not own their house, their car, or stock or have a 401(k),” she says.

Teamshares wants to change that.

Roybal’s sale to Teamshares closed on June 1. So far, he’s happy with his decision—as are his employees.

“We’ve always worked well as a team, and now we’re all part owners,” says Steven Snell, who’s been at Coronado for 15 years.

“That gives you extra oomph to get up and come in. It’s really a blessing and a great testimony to Buddy that he would take care of his employees like he has.”

Upon purchasing the business, Teamshares granted 10% ownership across the store’s employees. As time goes on the company will continue to grant employees a greater share, and they could own up to 80% over the next 15 to 20 years.

Teamshares’ mission, Sfetko says, is to make employee ownership the future

A lot of times when big companies come in, they change everything and we don’t wanna change anything.

of small business. While small businesses employ nearly 50% of Americans, 70-80% of the businesses don’t sell when their owners retire, a 2017 study by the Exit Planning Institute shows. This leaves workers jobless, and the money they earned is no longer spent in the community.

“We have a massive issue with succession in America,” Sfetko says. “Millennials

aren’t wanting to inherit their parents’ businesses and take them over anymore.

If they do manage to sell, who’s to say they’ll sell successfully to a great owner.

And even if they do, 10, 20, 30 years down the line, they’ll have another issue with succession.”

Teamshares hopes to transition 10,000 small businesses to employee ownership and create $10 billion in new wealth for employees. So far, the company has purchased 47 small businesses across 22 states. Coronado is its first in New Mexico.

Once the company acquires a business, its involvement in employees’ day-to-day dealings is minimal. Instead, Teamshares helps with accounting, pricing, legal assistance and more. For Roybal, that’s a big plus.

“A lot of times when big companies come in, they change everything,” he says.

“And we don’t wanna change anything.”

Most of Roybal’s employees have been at Coronado for well over a decade—some, for two or three. Roybal says everyone’s planning to stay on through the transition.

“It’s kind of cliché-sounding, but it’s a family environment here,” says Snell.

Now that he and the other employees have stock in the company, there’s an extra incentive to work hard: “We’re in competition for who makes the most sales, to be the best that month and be able to say, boy, I’m really contributing to the bottom line of this company,” Snell says.

Right now, Coronado brings in roughly $9 million in annual revenues.

The only major change from the sale is that when Roybal officially retires, Teamshares will bring in a new president to take over operations and finances.

Roybal will help recruit and train that person, and even when he steps away he’ll still be around the store helping customers.

Sfetko expects Coronado will be a model for other small businesses in Santa Fe. “The hope really is that everyone sees this as a real option to continue the legacy of all of these businesses,” she says. “What Buddy has built in Santa Fe is absolutely amazing, so to be able to ensure that everyone gets to keep their job and continue this legacy is pretty cool.”

It’s a boon for consumers, too. “There’s so much emphasis on shopping local, but it doesn’t matter if you shop local all day long if in 10 years, when the founder goes to retire, the business no longer exists,” Sfetko says. “The real power is not just shopping local, but staying local. It’s being forever employee-owned and operated.”

As for Roybal?

“Between my wife and my cars, I think I’ll probably stay busy.”

ennifer Lindline, an environmental geologist and head of the Water Resources program at New Mexico Highlands University, sat in a meeting for the school’s 2022 Earth Day celebration.

“It was about 11 or 12 that day when you started to see that cloud descending on the city,” she says. “And then people’s phones started blowing up.”

That was the day the Calf Canyon Fire “blew up and started marching north,” Lindline says, then merged with the Hermit’s Peak Fire to become the largest blaze in state history. Highlands faculty, students and staff who live north of Las Vegas raced home to prepare for anticipated evacuations. Lindline’s vehicle shook, buffeted by “demon winds,” as she drove home that night amid a haze of smoke.

She returned to school the next week to stories of friends, colleagues and community members whose homes had burned. By the following weekend, the fire was edging in on the city, threatening the United World College, Montezuma and the Creston Ridge. Evacuees flooded Highlands from UWC, and the university president moved the rest of the school year online.

Meanwhile, things changed for Lindline and her two interns, Megan Begay and Letisha Mailboy, who are both Diné.

They’ve been monitoring the Upper Pecos weekly since 2019, but the ritual took on new significance as the river choked with soot and debris.

For Pecos residents, the river is everything. It provides drinking water all the way from its headwaters in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains nearly to the Texas border. It’s the lifeblood of the village’s economy, fueling tourism, recreation and fishing.

It irrigates farms and ranches, and feeds 55 acequias in the Pecos area. Lives, livelihoods and traditional practices depend on a healthy river.

Wildfire brings a host of consequences for a watershed. Some are widely-known, like flooding and contamination from ash, debris and fire retardant chemicals. But some are more subtle and insidious: The same mechanism that causes flash flooding after a fire allows less water to seep back into aquifers from rivers, streams and other above-ground flows. That means fire can have a lasting impact on New Mexico’s already scarce groundwater supply. Lindline and other water experts believe the state needs to start studying this phenomenon 12

As recent fires jeopardize New Mexico’s already scarce water supply, experts eye policy changes

to inform policy and fire management techniques down the line as climate change makes two things certain: more frequent, more intense fires and less water.

Lindline, Begay and Mailboy visit the Pecos weekly to test its oxygen content, pH levels and turbidity. They meet on a bridge on Hwy. 223, and usually wade out to a grassy tussock toward the center of the river to use water-quality meters and collect samples.

The week of July 4, though, the river had swollen to submerge their usual vantage point, and it would have been dangerous to venture far from the bank. They clamber through willow thickets, squelching through mud and standing water where the river spread from recent rains.

“About 10% higher than last week,” Lindline notes, wading ankle deep in the shallows. She points out the soot particles darkening the water and collecting in zebra stripes along the banks. The team started

monitoring the Pecos in 2019 when a mining company proposed an ore-extracting operation that could have contaminated the water. They wanted to establish a baseline as evidence in the fight against the mine, which was successfully defeated.

“Every summer it’s a new threat,” Lindline says: The mine, overenthusiastic hikers and campers escaping their houses during the pandemic and now, the fire.

She explains the immediate repercussions of fire to a watershed: Trees and vegetation that normally intercept rainfall, lessening its impact on soils, disappear, leaving hillsides and streambanks vulnerable to erosion. Floodplains change, and rivers and streams can start to take unusual paths, causing flooding and disrupting aquatic habitats.

The severity of these impacts depends on the nature of the fire.

“All fire is not the same,” says Amina Sena, forest hydrologist for the Santa Fe National Forest and Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) implementation team lead. Low-intensity fire is a powerful tool that rejuvenates landscapes, making way for new growth, she says. She’s already witnessing this process at work as low-intensity areas of the burn scar—including her own property—see a “vigorous rebirth of vegetation.”

But in high-intensity areas it’s a different story. When a fire burns hot it “cooks” the soil, creating a “tin-roof effect” where water no longer filters into the soil but skims across the surface, running off and causing flooding. A wildfire guide produced by the New Mexico Forestry Division calls post-fire flooding “the biggest threat from wildfire.” It explains that this type of flooding usually happens during monsoon season when there’s heavy, localized rainfall on a burned area where the ground can’t absorb the rain. That’s been borne out in recent weeks as communities across the state and the Navajo Nation have seen major flooding take out bridges, wash out roads and damage homes and property.

The burn intensity of this year’s fire determines the danger to the watershed and the people, wildlife and ecosystems that depend on it. Preliminary BAER team maps show that about one-third of the land affected by the fire is severely burned. Sena calls the intensity pattern of the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire a “mosaic.”

In some areas that burned hot, she says, there were dead conifers and debris piled 8 feet deep. Buildups like that can’t happen if the Forest Service wants to prevent more

catastrophic fires, she says. The Hermit’s Peak Fire was caused by a US Forest Service controlled burn that “escaped” and tore through this dense debris, ultimately devouring over 340,000 acres. It merged with the Calf Canyon Fire, which was also started by the Forest Service as a pile burn that stayed hot through snowfall and reignited, leading to wildfire. An internal review reveals the agency’s responsibility: “Climate change is leading to conditions on the ground we have never encountered,” reads a preface to the report from agency chief Randy Moore. “We know these conditions are leading to more frequent and intense wildfires. Drought, extreme weather, wind conditions and unpredictable weather changes are challenging our ability to use prescribed fire as a tool to combat destructive fires.”

From left: Megan Begay, Jennifer Lindline and Letisha Mailboy test water quality in the Pecos River.

Coding Burn Severity Watershed impacts are contingent on the soil burn severity (SBS) from a fire. BAER team maps show that out of 40,150 acres analyzed for the Pecos River and parts of its tributaries, 50% are unburned or very low, 16% are moderate and 34% are high SBS.

Sena says the Forest Service has a lot of work to do to acknowledge the effects of climate change, not to mention mitigate against them when it comes to wildfires.

That starts with going through the National Environmental Policy Act to create planning documents and modern treatments on a far larger scale. Currently, they’re looking to reduce fuel loading across the Santa Fe National Forest.

“As we see the scale of these catastrophic fires, we need to join hands with our communities, with our partners and nonprofits, and really figure out how we can do this work at the pace and scale that we need to with the issues of climate change and times of drought,” Sena says.

Matthew Hurteau, a forest ecologist studying forest-fire-climate interactions, says it’s crucial that the Forest Service doesn’t abandon controlled burns in the face of public scrutiny. As Sena points out, low-intensity fires are key to a healthy forest and decrease the likelihood of fires like Hermit’s Peak getting out of control. Rather than ceasing burns entirely, Sena, Hurteau and other experts say forest managers should take into account New Mexico’s increasingly hot, dry climate when making decisions about appropriate conditions for a controlled burn.

The east side of the Sangres that burned in Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon hadn’t seen fire or treatment in years, Hurteau says, which allowed the fire to rip through the

forest unchecked. And there are plenty more untreated areas across the state.

“I spend a lot of time running around New Mexico for my research projects,” Hurteau says, “and there’s very few areas that I get into where I think, whoa, this area’s in great shape.”

The worst thing that could happen for New Mexico’s fire future, he says, would be a politically motivated halt of controlled burns. However, public faith in the Forest Service’s ability to actually control those burns has been badly shaken by this year’s wildfires.

The Forest Service plans to conduct extensive cutting and burning of vegetation on 38,680 acres in forests east of Santa Fe over the next 10 to 15 years as part of the Santa Fe Mountains Landscape Resiliency Project. The agency conducted an Environmental Assessment that supports this plan but some Santa Fe residents and county commissioners are pushing back, calling for a thorough Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and assessment of risks, costs and benefits.

Once a Forest—a Santa Fe community group that advocates for living forests and community-inclusive decision-making about forest health—has gathered over 1,200 signatures on a petition urging “a full environmental review of plans to cut down and burn forests near town.”

She’s already looking ahead to the hidden dangers of repeated, intense wildfires on the watershed. One long-term impact she’s concerned about is aquifer recharge.

When burned soil becomes “hydrophobic”—unable to absorb water—it can cause flash flooding, but may also have a long-term effect on New Mexico’s water supply. Typically, water seeps back into underground aquifers from rivers, streams and precipitation, replenishing the supply of water that’s underground and isn’t as

vulnerable to losses through evaporation as surface water is. But when soil becomes water-repellant after a fire, it impedes aquifer recharge.

“If more water runs off, there’s less recharging the aquifers and less available for drinking, supporting land uses and next year’s forest fire fights,” Lindline says.

It also means watersheds don’t provide the ecosystem services they normally do— including water storage and purification.

Lindline hopes to study this phenomenon

JUDY NOBLE

New Energy Economy, the Santa Fe Forest Coalition and other organizations have endorsed the petition.

Sam Hitt, founder and president of the Santa Fe Forest Coalition, says federal fire policy needs to change drastically to account for climate change. Rather than putting energy and resources towards clearing flammable material and doing “intentional burns”—the term Hitt prefers—people should focus on reducing emissions that fuel climate change and protecting homes and structures with “home-hardening” measures.

“The whole notion of clearing vegetation and burning to reduce fuels is not working because these fires are driven by climate—extreme temperatures, wind, low humidity, intense dryness,” Hitt says. “We’ve had cycles of dryness in the Southwest for thousands of years, but the current cycle is being aggravated by climate disruption, by the pollution that we’re putting into the atmosphere.”

Hitt contends that all fire—low and high intensity—provides ecosystem benefits. The tragedy is when wildfire destroys homes and property.

Mariel Nanasi, New Energy Economy’s executive director, said the reason for a full EIS is “to evaluate and critically assess the environment in which actions are taken.”

“This isn’t a senseless check-the-box situation,” Nanasi says. “As the changing climate requires, we need leaders in government to take bold action to prevent catastrophic damage and safeguard lives and livelihoods, not rote decision-makers bogged down with outdated status quo thinking that brought us to the precarious situation.”

The ramifications of outdated forest management policies and climate-fueled wildfires are far-reaching.

“Wildfires aren’t new to the region,” Lindline says. “It’s the size and scope of this wildfire complex that’s just tremendous.”

Flood recovery crews create sandbag barricades to protect Judy Noble’s Montezuma home from flooding.

more closely with Begay and Mailboy, setting up soil-moisture meters and testing field methods to monitor the situation and inform decision-making around wildfire and water management. Quantifying wildfire’s impact on New Mexico water supplies is difficult, but the theory behind the phenomenon is widely accepted.

The devastation wrought by the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire comes amid a yearlong battle by the Upper Pecos Watershed Association and other community groups to protect the waters of the Pecos River.

They petitioned the New Mexico Water Quality Control Commission to designate the waters of the upper Pecos as Outstanding National Resource Waters last year. With the commission’s July 12 vote, the river now carries the highest level of protection against degradation under the state of New Mexico’s Water Quality Standards.

What makes the Upper Pecos so special? “The fact that it’s untouched, that it’s almost primal—nothing has developed up here,” says Lela McFerrin, vice president of the association and longtime resident of the Upper Pecos Canyon.

The watershed has supported ecosystems and communities for centuries, the petition noted, fostering traditional farming, ranching and cultural practices. The Upper Pecos is also home to New Mexico’s state fish—the Rio Grande cutthroat trout.

Because Pecos’ economy relies on outdoor recreation and fishing rather than a more polluting industry—and thanks to the stewardship of Pecos communities—the waters have remained largely pure.

The designation means current uses of the river—irrigation, grazing, domestic use, recreation and other traditional uses— continue, but permits submitted for new activities such as housing development or exploratory mining will be more careful-

The Fire, the Flood and the Future

The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon burn scar ranges over 341,735 acres.

McFerrin sat on her porch on a recent day, chatting with SFR and watching the river run dark brown with soot and debris.

“It’s getting darker by the day,” McFerrin says.

As Pecos stared down a days-long thunderstorm forecast over the Fourth of July weekend, residents braced for flooding.

McFerrin’s house is set back from the river on an embankment, but she worries about her neighbors in low-lying areas of the canyon who were busy creating barricades with sandbags, digging diversion channels and building up embankments to help channel water and debris away from homes, farms and ranches.

“We’re hitting a period right now that’s gonna be dangerous,” McFerrin says. “And even as wet as it is, we could have a new fire start.”

Ash and debris change the river’s pH levels and oxygen content, which can harm fish, clogging their gills and damaging aquatic habitats. This bears special consequences for the Upper Pecos, where

angling is a major economic driver. Kirk Patten, chief of fisheries with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, estimates that fishing brings $27 million per year to the Pecos area.

“It is important to note that this economic impact has not been entirely lost,” Patten writes in a July 6 email to SFR. He notes that angling destinations are likely to have shifted to areas that are open or have better conditions.

The Lisboa Springs Fish Hatchery—the state’s oldest—closed due to fire restricANNABELLA FARMER

ly scrutinized. The decision applies to the Upper Pecos Watershed, which stretches roughly from its headwaters in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Village of Pecos.

McFerrin and the association fought for the designation for a year, along with the Village of Pecos, the New Mexico Acequia Association, San Miguel County and acequia farmer Ralph Vigil, who owns and operates Molino de la Isla organic farm in East Pecos. “It’s a half a million acres of forest and wilderness that we’re trying to protect,” McFerrin says. “That’s where clean water comes from—the forest.”

tions and likely won’t reopen until the Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger District does, Patten says.

Patten has seen fish dying off in the burn scars. He went into the fire area in June with New Mexico Department of Game and Fish biologists and Forest Service representatives to try and rescue the Rio Grande cutthroat trout. They saved about 400 fish.

But in some areas that normally have abundant trout, there were none left alive.

“We saw fish that were dead, presumably from the ash getting passed through the creek,” Patten said.

The surviving fish they rescued are temporarily housed in fishless streams, at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces and at the Seven Springs Fish Hatchery in Jemez Springs. How long the population takes to recover, Patten says, depends on the severity of the burn and flooding.

“We’ve had some cases where it took several years to recover,” he says. “In other cases streams are fit to put fish back in within a year or two.”

Once the ranger district opens to the public, they’ll be able to start restocking the river. Patten says the burn in the Upper Pecos is significant, but not to the point he expects to see massive fish die-offs.

Lindline hasn’t seen major die-offs yet this year either, but she worries it’s still coming.

“All the water-quality parameters are looking OK, but they’re slowly climbing,” and it appears that’ll continue, Lindline says. When her team went out in the last week of June, they could see soot particles

in the water and even smell an acrid, sinister reek.

Pecos residents saw flooding and contamination following the Trampas and Tres Lagunas fires in 2002 and 2013. Residents remember watching the river run black, and the watershed took years to recover.

Groups like the Upper Pecos Watershed Association and the Forest Service undertook restoration projects to revegetate the forest, restoring landscapes and protecting them from further erosion. Those projects are now beginning yet again, and Sena, the hydrologist, says there is much to do.

Once the immediate, life-threatening dangers of fire and flooding have passed, her focus will turn to recovery efforts like reseeding and mulching the burn scar, stabilizing river flows and watersheds with rock structures to hold soil in place.

It’s a long-term job. Sena says her heart is in the work, because she and her family, friends and neighbors live in the burn scar. Her father lost his home, and her own property was damaged.

“We all need to put our energy into restoring the landscape so that it can be as resilient as possible in the face of drought and climate change,” Sena says. “It’s time to roll up our sleeves, and get to work.”

DURING THE FIRE: By the Numbers “Water is just one tool in a big toolbox that the Forest Service uses to fight fires,” Jennifer Lindline, head of the Water Resources Program at New Mexico Highlands University, says, noting that fire crews rely heavily on retardant drops, clearing flammable material, building fire breaks and other measures. “As much as we see them scooping up water in those buckets, that's only a short term impact on water resources. I think this flooding runoff, less infiltration and less recharge is gonna be the longer term impact on these water systems.” The Forest Service provided approximate water use numbers for the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire fight: • 2.95 million gallons from Lake Isabel • 8.74 million gallons from dip sites including Storrie Lake, Circle Lake, Lost Lake, Morphy Lake, Long Horn Pond, Tecolote Creek and Cow Creek

Managers track fire crews’ water use from the heli base at the Las Vegas airport. They drew water from Lake Isabel, Storrie Lake, Circle Lake, Lost Lake, Morphy Lake, Long Horn Pond, Tecolote Creek and Cow Creek, as well as private ponds, fire department hydrants, local ranch wells and community wells.

• 15+ more dipsites supported with water tenders filled from water sources such as fire department hydrants, local ranch wells and community wells

HEY, LORETTA—FIX ME A PLATE ‘Tis always a special occasion whenever the hometown heroes who make up the legendary Gluey Brothers come together to play once more, and not least because it only happens every couple years or so. This is the band that came this close to taking the world by storm in the ’90s, and while its members have since scattered to the winds to work on other projects, this year’s reunion at a totally free show on the Plaza should go a long way toward reminding us all why the band is so dang special. Elements of rock mingle seamlessly with funk, punk, jazz and more.

An eccentric whole emerges from the bits and pieces of so many musical styles, in fact, that it’s a wonder the Glueys can even remember it all. Come to dance, sure, but do yourselves a favor and watch the instrumentation at play.

Santa Fe Opera features music by composer Huang Ruo in two free concerts You’ll need to wait a few more weeks for the world premiere of M. Butterfly at the Santa Fe Opera (July 30-Aug. 24). But SFO this week presents several other works by composer Huang Ruo in free concerts at SITE Santa Fe. On Friday, “Angel Island,” an oratorio for voices and string quartet, will be performed by the San Francisco-based Del Sol Quartet, which commissioned the piece.

The work sets to music Chinese poems that were carved into the walls of the Angel Island immigration station in the earlier part of the 20th century—a place where Chinese immigrants were held under the Chinese Exclusion Act (18821943), a federal law that prohibited the migration of Chinese laborers. Speaking to NPR last year about the Angel Island project, the Chinese-American composer Ruo discussed his early research trip to Angel Island, where he and Del Sol Quartet mounted a performance of music improvised around the wall poems. From that experience, Ruo composed music that would take listeners on the same journey of seeing the area’s outside beauty and then experiencing the terror of confinement.

In addition to the string quartet, the performance will feature several soloists: soprano Fang Tao Jiang; tenor Yi Li; mezzo-soprano Nina Yoshida Nelsen; and bass Yichen Xue. On Sunday, the Del Sol Quartet will perform Ruo’s “A Dust in Time,” an hour-long meditation inspired

by Tibetan Buddhist sand mandalas, a recording of which the New York Times described as building “in force and complexity toward a radiant and churning central section before returning to the quiet strands of the opening.” That album, by the way, comes with a coloring book in which you can draw your own mandalas while listening.

For that camp, might we suggest No Name Cinema’s Saturday Morning Cartoons event this week? The anti-profit DIY arthouse has curated a rather interesting assortment of animated bits and bobs from over the last hundred years for a theme of outer space (that means Marvin the Martian and Space Ghost at least). Heck, they’ll even throw in a free cereal bar. We read someplace that none of the major networks run animation blocks on Saturday mornings anymore, which feels like a travesty.

Tempo-wise, vocally, the band moves at a quicker clip than you might expect from a self-described “folk-tinged, macabre rock band,” and things have been known to get weird in a DCO song. Think orchestral-adjacent elements and lots of words crammed into small spaces. In other words, frontman Paul Hunton has a lot to say, a short amount of time in which to say it and some pretty cool bandmates to make that happen.

TALK SAT/16

The Kat Returns Kat Kinnick speaks about her current solo show at Hecho Gallery Whereas most young people who wend their way out of New Mexico for college take the win and move on with their lives, something about the area kept calling to local multi-media artist Kat Kinnick while she was pursuing her art degree at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

“That first year [of college] was exhilarating and really new and exciting, but I wanted to come back for all the visual inspirations,” Kinnick, who grew up in New Mexico, tells SFR. “I came back, I think, for the same reason a lot of artists choose to come out here—it’s so expansive and the light is so special; the smells and the quality of color and combinations. There’s so much more nature.”

That knack for nature finds its way into much of Kinnick’s work, including the ceramics for which she’s been so popular in recent years, but for her Abundance/Impermanence solo show at Hecho Gallery, Kinnick returned to her first love: painting. From a small studio near Lone Butte, she has created dream-

like interpretations of New Mexico wildlife and landscapes. The works convey a familiarity with the area, but double down on flora and fauna found within the dense New Mexico oases dotted across the arid landscape. You’ll recognize the feel and flavor in a Kinnick painting, but the longer you look, the more you’ll find weirdly unfamiliar elements. Perhaps this is a dash of wish fulfillment or even idealism, but it works a kind of magic that somehow feels nostalgic and new all at once.

Kinnick appears at Hecho this week to talk inspiration, process and execution—a winning combo.

“It feels like a nice and satisfying leveling up for me,” Kinnick explains of her new body of work. “It’s something I’ve been doing my whole life, which I hold really dear and precious.”

First things first: Laura Stokes is not kidding around. The multi-faceted performer has been working out of Germany for the past few years and has seen her fair share of the world. No stranger to New Mexico, she’s back in town to promote her new circus-esqe show, Call Me A Pussy, at the Center for Contemporary Arts (8 pm Friday-Sunday, July 15-17 and July 22-24. $25-40. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, (505) 982-1338). Stokes’ one-woman show introduces her thoughts on modern society to the broader world, and you spectators are just as much a part of the show as she is. SFR caught up with Stokes to discuss how circus and burlesque can express far more than you’d expect. (Riley Gardner) This show is described as a voluntary self objectification that breaks down larger societal issues. You don’t usually hear such themes in a circus-esque show, which tend to be ensembles. Why’d you choose to build a one-woman show as opposed to a larger group show?

There’s a lot of randomness that happened with building this show, but I’ve always been interested in the underlying feeling these shows bring, and how different it is to see a variety show by one person.

It’s a question of what we perform for other people and what’s not performed.

These archetypes I portray are much more highlighted than when you see a full cast playing different characters. It’s about cis female sexuality and bodily autonomy.

There’s a joy in these stereotypes, it’s not a rejection. We all hold the culpability of the wounds of patriarchy. See, I was raised in the backwoods hippy country, but I’ve still wanted to put on lipstick and high heels. I haven’t been oppressed by that. But they can become hurtful to everyone. That becomes highlighted when it’s the same person doing this as opposed to multiple characters. It’s a multi-genre show, since my background is both contemporary circus and dance.

JULY JULY13-19, 13-19,2022 2022 • • SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM

How does a show like this help combat things like prejudice and nationalism?

In watching the deconstruction of these stereotypes, I want to see transformation.

I’ve been working on this show for eight years, and it’s more timely than I’d like it to be. A lot of this was written earlier—for example, I’ve got an Americana personality that was developed before the Trump presidency. Now in retrospect, the things that happened in real life are crazier than I figured. So I ask how do I portray this character without otherizing them? We’re all responsible for these things in some way.

This might be far-reaching, but I believe in the potency for live performance to be a collective absolution.

For me, I’ve always tried to make work that’s specific enough to be provocative and evocative. Even with my own physical experience with the body—any audience member projects their own meaning. If you attempt to speak truth, you’re guaranteed to push someone away. I never go in with an agenda and a goal, but to create a container to look at subjects that might not be able to be looked at collectively. The role of entertainment has been ritual, and only recently have we separated that aspect. So much of our ritual and need for escape is happening in these digital mediums. I’m not creating these concepts, but we can look at them together here. With this show I’ve focused on comedy, that’s very new for my work.

You take inspiration from the burlesque movement and other historical times, stemming all the way back to the 1800s.

Why examine the past so strongly when your show is a satire about the current world?

[Burlesque] was a low-class oriented movement. It was political and subversive, yet it was thrilling. I think comedy and humor are a way to deal with difficult subjects. My curiosity came from the neoburlesque scene. I became fascinated by it. From the Victorian era to the US, it was predominately a female movement—one of the largest self-sustaining live performance networks in the US. All-female troupes were doing Shakespeare. It was the lower class society claiming high art. It’s worth looking into and drawing inspiration from.

Burlesque has typically been popular in times of hardship. Accessible uplifting entertainment that’s not afraid to be taboo is needed right now.

Everyone and their grandmother has heard the word pussy. If men can use it in the way they have, I can reclaim it as a female. Pussy has been used in our times to describe weak, timid or fragile. But the female genitalia is the strongest and most adapting. So yeah, call me a pussy.

If you wanna call me weak, find some other word.

Here Comes the Neighborhood Milad Persian Bistro owner returns with downtown coffee shop and restaurant El Barrio

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

found myself entering a building on Shelby Street that I’d somehow never entered before in my life. To be fair, the font door, as it were, of the El Centro building, which now houses new café El Barrio, is technically on Water Street. But if you trek down a narrow breezeway beside the Verdes Foundation cannabis dispensary, just past a stand run by Churro Bar owner Gerardo Garcia, you’ll find the new spot. Once inside, you’ll most likely find owner Neema Sadeghi, former owner of Milad Persian Bistro, pouring espresso, assembling sandwiches and salads and attempting to resurrect the type of community hangout spot that was waning even before COVID-19 came along. With a strong variety of caffeine and quickie lunch items, he might just do it, too.

“After I closed Milad, I ended up working at Santacafé, where I still manage and wait tables some nights, and my wife was pregnant at the time, so I didn’t really want to open up another restaurant,” Sadeghi tells SFR. “So I was in this kind of limbo, and I got to spend more time with my family, which was great, but the coffee shop kind of presented itself to me.”

Some background: Sadeghi opened Milad Persian Bistro on Canyon Road circa 2016 with recipes he learned from his grandmother. The child of Iranian immigrants, he grew up in Washington, DC, and spent time in Los Angeles, El Paso— where he met his wife, Angie Urrutia—and even Spain, but after years spent visiting his mother, who moved to Santa Fe roughly 15 years ago, something about the weather pulled him here. After three-ish years on Canyon Road, Sadeghi moved Milad to the Solana Center, where it remained popular, Even so, he faced the brunt of those early pandemic lockdowns, and Sadeghi ultimately made the difficult choice to shutter the busi-

ness. But what’s that saying about something having to crumble to make room for better things?

Sadeghi lured me and a friend to his new business with the promise of fresh churros from Garcia. Santa Fe isn’t hurting for coffee shops, and parking downtown is admittedly challenging, so this was a wise move on his part. Once there, however, his café’s warm and inviting atmosphere felt immediately different from the industrial coldness of some local shops or the “buy coffee/get out,” vibe of others. Inside, a small number of two-tops lined the walls, while the aforementioned outdoor breezeway finds space for larger groups in a shaded patio setting.

Per Sadeghi’s recommendation, I first ordered an Americano ($3.50) while we perused the menu. He sources espressos and retail beans from Los Angles’ Unity Sourcing & Roasting, a company committed to finding single origin, fair trade beans from around the globe. Sadeghi’s personal favorite is dubbed

Serious Black, a 50-50 blend of Guatemalan and Columbian beans, with which he made my Americano, and I can confidently say that, despite the relative simplicity of the drink, it was one of the more rich and nuanced cups of coffee I’ve sampled in recent memory. A cup of drip from New Mexico Piñon

To be fair, we didn’t sample the Sorbonne sandwich with ham, apple arugula, brie and honey mustard, but it looked so photogenic we couldn’t stop ourselves. BELOW: El Barrio owner Neema Sadeghi.

Coffee will set you back $3, and you can pick up half-pound bags of beans from Unity for $20—which sounds intense, but having taken home a little something from Ethiopia called Adado, it’s worth it.

Food-wise, we settled on a panino dubbed the Madison, a combination of cheddar, brie and asadero cheeses melted around green apple slices ($10). While we waited, Sadeghi brought us a serving of the salad of the day ($12), a spicy garbanzo number overflowing with raisins, carrots and cilantro and served with a lemon cumin dressing that was, frankly, wonderfully refreshing and teeming with flavor. When the sandwich arrived, the salad worked well with its contrasting tastes and textures, and though the apple slices were not what I’d call bursting with piquancy, their crisp and crunch against the gooey cheeses was as satisfying as it gets. Splitting the salad and sandwich worked well for two people, and besides—we still wanted those churros.

Outside, Garcia insisted on making us fresh mini churros from his new satellite outpost stand. If you haven’t been

by Garcia’s Southside truck of the same name, you haven’t lived. At El Barrio, churros come three to an order for just $6, and you can have them filled with either chocolate or strawberry sauces or, my personal favorite, a dulce de leche. My companion raved about the strawberry filling as well, and the chocolate, while beyond delicious, was a mite heavy and could work better in colder months. Even so, thanks to Garcia’s expert abilities, we found our churros wonderfully crispy and hot; you won’t even mind if the sauce dribbles out a bit, because honestly, you need these things in your life.

According to Sadeghi, having separate businesses like Garcia’s is all part of the master plan. Ideally, he says, he’d like to offer other items from the street food milieu outside, such as tacos and, fingers crossed, elote.

That’s still in the works, as are new menu items inside. Sadeghi’s wife hails from Juarez, for example, and they’ve been kicking around the idea of serving up more Mexican-inspired burritos. I know Santa Feans tend to think New Mexican and Mexican food are the same thing, but they’re really not, and for a former Southern Californian such as myself, the thought of getting something more faithful to the Mexican food I grew up with is thrilling.

Sadeghi, meanwhile, also offers private cooking services that make use of his Persian recipes, which you can request through his Instagram account (@elbarrionm), and the future of his brick and mortar joint could be a lot of things. For now, it almost feels like a little oasis for locals in the heart of the tourism district. Believe me, I loathe when people weaponize the term support, but this is precisely the kind of place we all need to support, and where we should try hanging out.

“I’ve worked in restaurants for a very long time,” Sadeghi says. “I feel lucky just to be around.”

What the hell is jazz, anyway?

The Glass Key Trio keeps it prog with Apocalypse Fatigue while Lucy Barna drops folky What I Know is True

BY ALEX DE VORE /

a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Birth], and I decided to rehash it, but probably 80% of [the record] was written during the COVID era,” Bleich explains. “A lot of it is coming from the classical world, this idea of having a whole new thing to develop within a structure; or like prog rock, where all of a sudden it becomes a different thing.”

In checking my notes, the first thing that hit from Apocalypse Fatigue is that it’s unexpectedly folky, though perhaps that’s more about the guitar fingerpicking found throughout. Bleich confirms there’s some old folk flavor at play, though such guitar technique hardly defines the album. You’ll find plenty of effects-based oddities, for example, like two homages to glitchy dub called “Selectronics 1” and “Selectronics 2,” songs which define a motif through off-kilter and almost 8-bit sounds. Meanwhile, a solid (yet strangely-timed) bit of rhythm work from drummer Milton Villarrubia III and bassist Paul Brown helps keep the focus.

Bleich says the three developed an improvisational shorthand while recording the album. In short, this means that while the songs on Apocalypse Fatigue are meticulously composed, the trio has other pieces, which Bleich calls “inserts,” that can be summoned when the mood strikes live.

Boiled down? The live show for new Glass Key Trio stuff will likely be a whole different beast from the recorded material, though that’s hardly surprising given Bleich’s studied love of improv. Find them this week at San Miguel Chapel and at Albuquerque’s Outpost Performance Space.

Warm and familiar Meanwhile, country-folk crooner Lucy Barna is prepping to release her latest record on July 17, and for a pair of release shows in the days that follow.

What I Know is True will likely be plenty familiar to any Barnacles out there—a term I just invented for Lucy Barna fans: a bit of country, a bit of folk, some rock elements bubbling up from somewhere deep and a whole lot of vulnerable, confessional lyricism.

Barna’s an absolute monster singer and proves it 10 times over on True.

Does the whisper-quiet thing begin to feel samey once you’re a dozen songs deep into its 13 tracks? Yes, a little bit, particularly when Barna proves she can belt it out hard on songs like “Lightning Strike” or “Rise Up.” The latter skews kinda political, though it feels tough to follow when it phases between what sounds like a land acknowledgment/reminder that we’re on Indigenous land (yes!) and a sort of toothless call to come together (meh).

Maybe it’s the punk rock in me, but I’m kind of beyond trying to reason with people who adhere to “make the country great again!” sloganeering. I can’t for one second believe Barna’s into Trump, but it feels like she should have known that type of phrase belongs to a certain type of person. Of course,

it’s possible I reacted too quickly, and making the country great again is totally about Land Back, in which case I’m really down with the sentiment and I apologize for misunderstanding.

Besides, these are ultimately small complaints, especially when stacked up against the rest of the album. You’ll feel it cut deep when Barna notes how she is “old enough know better/too young to feel this old,” and there’s no denying there are some serious borderline pop bangers on True. In fact, somewhere between the shimmery George Harrison-style guitar on some tracks, the mournful harmonica of others and the gorgeous fingerpicking on everything, the product feels akin to something a titan like Tom Petty might have put out from his home studio—or, at least, a solid bit on love and such.

Backup from notable Santa Fe music folk like Arne Bey, Jono Manson, Larry Diaz, Clark Libbey and Lisa Kori (an absolute fave of mine who I desperately wish would release more solo music) doesn’t hurt, either, and I can only imagine the live show does more justice to Barna’s new stuff.

TERRENCE CLIFFORD

AMY COMPTON

Good luck finding a neat little box in which to file Santa Fe’s Glass Key Trio. The project of musician/composer Jeremy Bleich, the band’s output is a bit of an anachronism. Is it prog rock? Noise? Experimental? Jazz?

Regular rock? Yes, all of the above, but somehow none of them. It’s kind of like that meme you might have seen floating around the social medias, which reads, “You don’t hate jazz, you fear its lack of boundaries.”

When it comes to The Glass Key Trio’s forthcoming Apocalypse Fatigue (out July 15 at jeremybleich.bandcamp.com), lack of boundaries is the hallmark and, according to Bleich, listeners’ fear of lacking boundaries might have to do with things like capitalism, how we train our personal musical ear and a mainstream music world that seems to punish acts that don’t adhere to any one thing. He calls the music jazz, though, with caveats. We’re so good at accessing thoughts of old Coltrane and Davis and Parker when we hear the term, maybe some of that New Orleans stuff—but the genre’s core elements of experimentation, tossing meter out the window or crafting a hearable feeling...well, these tenets are no more inextricably linked to any one sound than are the ways we feel music. Here, now, with Glass Key Trio, it’s more about keeping us on our toes while keeping the composition game interesting for Bleich and his band.

Make no mistake—Apocalypse Fatigue is endlessly listenable, perhaps even more so than much of what Bleich has turned out across his storied career in progressive jazz acts like Birth and Kodama Trio. If the album title conjures visions of how fucking tired we’ve grown of the pandemic (and its offshoot economic stressors), you’re right on the money, though Bleich tells SFR that certain elements, such as the foundation of the song “Killer Capitalism,” have been gestating longer.

Thor: Love and Thunder Review Welcome to the bungle

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Ah, Thor—the mightiest Avenger who, until New Zealand filmmaker/treasure Taiki Waititi got ahold of him in 2017 with the film Ragnarok, was just kind of this over-serious action guy who threw hammers all hard and learned to love even harder.

Now, after years spent honing his comedic chops in a decidedly Guardians of the Galaxy-type way, a healthy dose of tedious fat jokes and a whole mess of loss, Thor’s back to just generally do things harder and sexier. And you know what? It’s fine.

We join the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) as his travels across the galaxy with the aforementioned Guardians have come to a close, leading him to become a meditative sad boi who only gets moving when there are battles to be won. Ruhroh, though, because some dude named Gor the God Butcher (Christian Bale, looking a whole hell of a lot like Ralph Fiennes’ Voldemort from them Harry Potter movies) has declared open season on deities, and Thor is next on the list. Meanwhile, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has popped back up for the first real time since 2011’s aptly titled Thor, only she’s got late-stage cancer now and a new commitment to squashing evil. Together, she and Thor and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson, who is cooler than any of the rest of them) and Korg (a rock guy voiced by Waititi) must seek the help of

Oh to be French, wealthy and sad.

Sara (Juliette Binoche) and Jean (Vincent Lindon) have an ideal relationship. While cozying up in an ideal Parisian apartment and cooking fancy food, old flame François (an underutilized Grégoire Colin) arrives to offer Jean work stemming from his athletic glory days. But Sara is François’ former lover, unable to resist the temptation he offers. People get mad at each other, etc.

There’s certainly a Binoche fandom that’ll feel content in director/writer Claire Denis’ newest venture. It’s a Binoche movie, mind you, and damn if it ain’t going for the César. Yet all of Denis’ films move in a similar manner, where characters speak like a freshman philosophy term paper grew a mouth. Everything here is very French—like the kind of folks who make love rather than have sex, and shriek, “My lover! My lover!” as the deed is done. This is not a dig at French sensibilities, but rather to point out the insufferable nature of dissatisfied middle class people, perhaps the single unifying factor of Western civilization. Both Sides, then, has good ideas, namely, how human 28

other gods if they’re going to take down Gor and his magic sword.

Marvel’s fourth film phase (say that five times fast) has proven a bit of a puzzler thus far with movies and Disney+ shows that seem connected only by the mention of the multiverse (in brief, the concept that there are infinite universes all layered on top of each other). Oh, it’s not that every project needs to serve the same over-arching plot, and there have been standout projects, no question (like that last Spider-Man), it’s just beginning to feel like even the Marvel architects don’t know where the meandering stories are headed.

If we’re supposed to see so many of these things, they should make it feel more worth it!

Love and Thunder is one of the weaker among them, a tired retreading of Waititi-esque jokery delivered through awkward encounters, silly dialogue—and a couple of gigantic screaming goats. It’s not that you’ll find no sincere laughs, and the Guns n’ Roses-heavy soundtrack does kick ass, but someplace between the

beings cannot escape what they left behind with a make-believe material reality.

But the problems don’t come from its good ideas. This is a dreadfully boring film, where terrible people mistreat each other, which is then presented to viewers as “truth.” Who cares? We’ve seen Binoche sob over a post-middle-aged old man multiple times in her career.

Denis does, however, offer smart directorial choices—and the romanticizing of middle-aged bodies is a much-needed contrast to youthobsessed cinema. Denis knows precisely what to emphasize in the frame, but it seems she can never find an urgency with her storytelling and, thus, inadvertently proclaims the whole venture pointless. Both Sides is more an acting reel than a film, and a worthy one at that. But it’s worth noting how everyone here has done better work. Contact your local French cinema diehard for proof.

+ EYE-OPENING; AMAZING FOOTAGE - COULD HAVE GONE MUCH DEEPER; EMOTIONALLY DRAINING

Most folks take for granted their access to journalism, and notably somewhere in there, the

long prerequisite watchlist and the same old melodrama, one wonders why we must keep working so hard to stay up to date.

Too bad, too, as Hemsworth turned out to be a pretty funny actor in the end, and his chemistry with Portman (well, with everyone, really) is the closest Love and Thunder comes to magic. The rest is paintby-numbers humor and that omnipresent Marvel capital-T TONE (regular viewers know what I’m talkin’ about), plus some space-splosions. In other words? The cracks are starting to show, and not just between dimensions.

local press. In a new documentary from Jesus Camp directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, however, a global picture emerges of an industry and, in some places, constitutional right under fire, both at home and abroad.

The Ronan Farrow-produced Endangered opens brief but poignant windows into the work of journalists in America, Brazil and Mexico, three countries with governments that ostensibly tout freedom while bandying about terms like “fake news” and “enemy of the people” when it comes to the press. In the end, Ewing and Grady show a tragically declining line of work across multiple scopes, which we know will ultimately hurt communities—but the sad truth is that there might not be satisfying answers. The press is dying, friends, and that should alarm everyone.

In Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro watchdog Patrícia Campos Mello of the paper Folho de São Paolo faces lawsuits and a steady stream of misogynistic memes while back in America, Guardian journo Oliver Laughland, a British ex-pat, follows Trump on the 2020 campaign trail while simultaneously covering Youngstown, Ohio—America’s largest city without a single community paper.

Miami Herald photog Carl Juste shoots protests that flared up following the 2020 police murder of George Floyd and, later, the January 6 insurrection, while Mexican photographer Sáshenka

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Directed by Waititi With Hemsworth, Portman, Thompson and Bale Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 118 min.

Gutiérrez of Agenica EFE finds herself documenting COVID-19 in Mexico City at a time her government was denying any serious fallout from the deadly virus. She even winds up getting tear gassed while covering a women’s rights protest turned immediately violent by riot cops.

And so it goes, which really ought to fire viewers up, though one can’t help but think that most care less and less for journalism. As a midwest woman says to Laughland in the doc, some people just aren’t going to read papers that don’t fully adhere to their views. That’s frustrating enough, but tack on how the job can be dangerous...each reporter says as much, then they jump back into the fray.

That does feel heroic, though Endangered doesn’t give a deep enough view into any of its subjects’ work as to feel truly meaningful.

It comes across almost like a documentary for other journalists to scream “Yeah!” at, a sort of liberal-leaning told-ya-so sort of thing that very likely will not change minds. Most folks know the demeaning ways the public views journalists, this isn’t new. But if the point of this doc is to make a case for people to subscribe, donate or otherwise engage with multiple sources of local and national media, the argument doesn’t feel strong enough.

Week of July 13th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): With a fanciful flourish, Aries poet Seamus Heaney wrote, “I ate the day / Deliberately, that its tang / Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb.” I’d love for you to be a pure verb for a while, Aries. Doing so would put you in robust rapport with astrological rhythms. As a pure verb, you’ll never be static. Flowing and transformation will be your specialties. A steady stream of fresh inspiration and new meanings will come your way. You already have an abundance of raw potential for living like a verb—more than all the other signs of the zodiac. And in the coming weeks, your aptitude for that fluidic state will be even stronger than usual.

eruption of your strong willpower; an encounter with inspiration that propels you to make some practical improvement in your life; a brave adjustment in your understanding of how the world works; a sacrifice of an OK thing that gives you more time and energy to cultivate a really good thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to Arthurian myth, the Holy Grail is a cup that confers magical powers. Among them are eternal youth, miraculous healing, the restoration of hope, the resurrection of the dead, and an unending supply of healthy and delicious food and drink. Did the Grail ever exist as a material object?

Some believe so. After 34 years of research, historian David Adkins thinks he’s close to finding it. He says it’s buried beneath an old house in Burton-on-Trent, a town in central England. I propose we make this tantalizing prospect your metaphor of power during the coming weeks. Why? I suspect there’s a chance you will discover a treasure or precious source of vitality. It may be partially hidden in plain sight or barely disguised in a mundane setting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many Scorpios imagine sex to be a magnificent devotion, a quintessential mode of worship, an unparalleled celebration of sacred earthiness. I endorse and admire this perspective. If our culture had more of it, the art and entertainment industries would offer far less of the demeaning, superficial versions of sexuality that are so rampant. Here’s another thing I love about Scorpios: So many of you grasp the value of sublimating lust into other fun and constructive accomplishments. You’re skilled at channeling your high-powered libido into practical actions that may have no apparent erotic element. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to do a lot of that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A Sagittarius reader named Jenny-Sue asked, “What are actions I could take to make my life more magical?” I’m glad she asked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to raise your delight and enchantment levels, to bask in the blessed glories of alluring mysteries and uncanny synchronicities. Here are a few tips: 1. Learn the moon’s phases and keep track of them. 2. Acquire a new sacred treasure and keep it under your pillow or in your bed. 3. Before GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m pleased to authorize you sleep, ask your deep mind to provide you with dreams to be extra vast and extensive in the coming weeks.

In the coming weeks and months, make it your quest to focus your urge to merge on them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I love these lines by Leo poet Conrad Aiken: “Remember (when time comes) how chaos died to shape the shining leaf.” I hope this lyrical thought will help you understand the transformation you’re going through. The time has come for some of your chaos to expire—and in doing so, generate your personal equivalent of shining leaves. Can you imagine what the process would look and feel like? How might it unfold? Your homework is to ponder these wonders.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A British woman named Andie Holman calls herself the Scar Queen. She says, “Tight scar tissue creates pain, impacts mobility, affects your posture, and usually looks bad.” Her specialty is to diminish the limiting effects of scars, restoring flexibility and decreasing aches. Of course, she works with actual physical wounds, not the psychological kind. I wish I could refer you to healers who would help you with the latter, Virgo. Do you know any? If not, seek one out. The good news is that you now have more personal power than usual to recover from your old traumas and diminish your scars. I urge you to make such work a priority in the coming weeks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need the following experiences at least once every other day during the next 15 days: a rapturous burst of unexpected grace; a gentle

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.” This quote is variously attributed to violinist Jascha Heifetz, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, and violinist Isaac Stern. It’s a fundamental principle for everyone who wants to get skilled at any task, not just for musicians. To become a master of what you love to do, you must work on it with extreme regularity. This is always true, of course. But according to my astrological analysis, it will be even more intensely true and desirable for you during the coming months. Life is inviting you to raise your expertise to a higher level. I hope you’ll respond!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In May 2021, Jessica and Ben Laws got married on their dairy farm. The ceremony unfolded smoothly, but an unforeseen event interrupted the reception party. A friend who had been monitoring their herd came to tell the happy couple that their pregnant cow had gone into labor and was experiencing difficulties. Jessica ran to the barn and plunged into active assistance, still clad in her lovely floor-length bridal gown and silver tiara. The dress got muddy and trashed, but the birth was successful. The new bride had no regrets. I propose making her your role model for now.

Put practicality over idealism. Opt for raw and gritty necessities instead of neat formalities. Serve what’s soulful, even if it’s messy.

Homework: Ask a friend or loved one to tell you a good secret. Newsletter.FreeWillAstrology.co
