I've been away a few weeks and will be gone a few more. Busy with pressing matters at home, but looking forward to getting back to the Fediverse once things quiet down.

"Before I read Sacred Wonderland: The History of Religion in Yellowstone, Thomas S. Bremer's new book, which just published yesterday, I never would have imagined the fascinating connection to a variety of faith traditions and spiritual movements that have either found a home in or near Yellowstone or that have influenced its creation as a national park." —Bill Tammeus on Bill's Faith Matters blog, https://billtammeus.typepad.com/my_weblog/2025/07/7-2-25.html

Candlestick Tower, #Canyonlands National Park

A tall rock formation rises from a layered desert landscape in Canyonlands National Park, with cliffs and mesas in the background. The foreground features rocky terrain and sparse, scrubby vegetation. The scene appears arid and rugged.
