… is loosely woven, but has the tensile strength of steel. We are a community that is far-reaching, and yet, very close. We are the town of 500 from 1/2 a century ago where your parents grew up. We are who you want to be and can be, wherever you live.
Tonight, I am just getting home from the fundraiser for one of our own. It was some of the best of what Big Sur is … and what the human species is – caring, loving, giving, sharing. It is what we aspire to, and it was inspired by a beautiful young woman.
Rachael Short, you would be proud and humbled by all those who came out tonight to support your recovery. Blessings to you, your family, your friends, and your larger Big Sur family who deeply care.
Tomorrow, I will give a more objective report with photos of the great gift the River Inn gave Rachael and all of us. Namasté.

Yes, Big Sur always rises to the occasion when necessary, putting aside the squabbles over land, water, etc. for the common (and individual) good. I imagine the fundraiser was great. I wish I could have been there. But, as always, I was in Spirit. Thanks Kate for your beautiful description.
So how can we 'bottle' this 'good stuff' and spread it around the country---eespecially to DC and Wall Street etc?
Kate, Thank you for your words and wisdom. These are the moments that I so miss being physically present in Big Sur...and your words remind me that my friends, family and community are alive and well...in Big Sur and in my heart. I look forward to seeing your photos and so proud and humbled to be part of such a loving community. xoxo to you. Janet
