Sometimes the desert has its own plans. In this short but heartfelt episode, recorded live at the Stewards of the Earth Festival at Cactus Joe’s in Blue Diamond, the skies opened, and the Mojave offered its blessing in the form of steady, cleansing rain. Join us as we pause to honor that gift and reflect on the power of water in this dry land. With thanks to Kym and Carmen for organizing, Cactus Joe for hosting beneath the cholla and Joshua trees, and Alan O’Neil for guiding a thoughtful discussion on the science and spirit of desert stewardship. Though the conversation was brief, the message endures: even a storm can remind us why we care for this fragile, magnificent landscape.
