On May 17th at 1pm a wildfire broke out in San Juan National Forest in southwest Colorado. Within three hours the fire had grown from 2 acres to over 600 acres. It is the third day of this fire and it is 0% contained with over 180 firefighters on the ground and air. The winds are picking up as I write this. Just an hour ago the update is that this fire may hop a key road, which would lead to immense devastation. This is my home. I am so grateful for the brave folks working to fight this fire. I am finding beauty in that.
