After he was unceremoniously let go from his director role at MountainFilm in 2017, Telluride resident David Holbrooke got to thinking. The town needed another festival, but not one during the busy summer or winter months, and not one that had been done before.

He wanted something original, and thus, the Original Thinkers festival was born. With its inaugural event in 2018, Original Thinkers returns to the box canyon next weekend, Oct. 3-6. Original Thinkers is billed as an ideas festival that uses speakers, art, film and performance to delve into the big issues of our time. “We focus on the crucial intersection between ideas and story and look at how to process the chaos of this modern age,” organizers write.

If this all sounds vaguely similar to the Aspen Ideas festival, it is. Holbrooke credits it as the “granddaddy” of brainstorming gatherings. And while Original Thinkers may not pull in the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world (yet), it does have some noteworthy speakers of its own. The gathering entails 10 “shows” on 10 distinct topics covering everything from personal evolution and climate change to sex-trafficking and the fight for LGBTQ equality. Speakers include: • Rich Roll – a recovering alcoholic who turned his life around to become an ultra-endurance athlete and one of Men’s Journal’s “Top 25 Fittest Men.” Roll is known for his popular memoir, cookbook and eponymous podcast; • Ruthie Lindsey – hit by an ambulance at 17, Lindsey had a 1 percent chance of walking again. She defied the odds only to inexplicably become bedridden by chronic pain several years later.

Now in her 30s, Lindsey has recovered and offers a message of hope for others facing “brokenness;” • Richard McKinney – After 25 years as a Marine in the Middle East, McKinney returned home so enraged that he planned to blow up a mosque in Indiana. However, when he went there, he was so embraced by its members that it changed his life, and theirs, forever. His short movie, “Secret Life of Muslims” will trace how he became a Muslim and leader of that mosque.

• Sarfraz Manzoor – The real life subject of the film “Blinded by the Light,” Manzoor will talk about the impact Bruce Springsteen had on his young life and help answer the all-encompassing question, “what does music really do to us?”

• Mr. Wash – Wrongly imprisoned for two decades on drug charges, Wash was pardoned in 2016. While in prison, he turned to art and painting to depict the real-life stories around him. Now back home in Compton, Calif., Wash uses art to make a case for creativity as an optimistic force in America's broken criminal justice system. A short documentary details his journey.

The final show of the festival will screen a documentary on the evolution of Aurora’s St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church into a multicultural gathering place for the city’s growing refugees and immigrant population. Brandon Victor Dixon, of Broadway’s “Hamilton” and founder of the voterengaging WeAre, and St. Matthew’s pastor Marcel Narucki will share the stage afterward.

All main events take place at the Mountain Village Conference Center. All-access passes cost $350 for the weekend. For more info, go to www.originalthinkers.com

LaVidaLocal Passport please As I reached into my desk drawer to retrieve my recently expired passport, a version of my 1970s self emerged. Before me was a young man I hardly recognized. He had hair down to his shoulders, a poor excuse for a beard, and a silly look on his face. My mother-in-law used to declare he looked just like Jesus, as if she’d formally met the man.

Eventually I found the correct expired passport, then gasped again. This codger staring back at me looked too much like a short-timer, closer than I realized to crossing into that territory where return trips are strictly prohibited.

I’ve held three official U.S. passports, the first one issued in 1979, the second in 1995, and the third one in 2008. They permitted me to travel internationally six times. With these expired documents languishing in my desk drawer, I faced a dilemma. Should I renew?

Renewal is such a tricky word. While it implies a kind of rebirth, it also contains the dregs of fiscal responsibility, like renewing vehicle registration, coughing up more cash for insurance premiums or deciding which magazine subscriptions might get more use in an office waiting room.

Our government collects $145 from firsttime applicants, and a mere $110 for renewal, as long as the citizen’s previous passport was issued in the last 15 years. An acceptable photograph is also required, a head shot which most U.S. Post Offices can furnish for an additional $15, even if there’s a chance your face will eventually show up on a stamp.

I’ve tried to submit my own photo but government regulations are very specific. Any variation from over 23 mandates covering size, resolution, pose, expression, background, attire or even the accurate depiction of skin tone can result in rejection. Upon studying the rules, I wondered about the training passport personnel receive to decide if one’s skin tone is accurate and consequently acceptable. Politics these days still prompt questions like these. Once issued, a passport is valid for exactly 10 years.

With my mostly Midwestern miserly ways, I figured I had no option but to renew. Despite being gifted with second-rate math skills, I calculated 10 years of inflation multiplied by the largest national debt in the world divided by my actuary risks of survival would add up to saving a few dollars if

I could ever afford to travel again.

Only one in five Americans retain a passport, preferring interstate to international travel. By letting my passport lapse, I’d be joining the majority of Americans who for one reason or another prefer to stay at home.

Granted, the U.S. is huge, with plenty of opportunities for domestic tourism, but as Shakespeare might have phrased it, “All the world’s a stage ... except America, which has remodeled itself into a movie theater.”

Six trips abroad and I felt welcome in every port, airport or station by the people who worked and lived there. In Paris I almost took the wrong train to the Palace of Versailles, the one traveling away from it instead of toward it. Through the combined efforts of a little elderly Parisian lady who spoke no English and a German tourist who spoke just a little we managed to reorient my disorientation.

In Malta a bus driver delayed his departure after shouting at a few impatient passengers to explain how his bus was an individual part of a fleet of vintage buses, all of them owned by locals who spent their own money customizing and decorating them. They qualified as mechanical works of art. I spent the next week trying out various bus routes just to see how creative the Maltese owners could be. Modernization has since reduced the colorful island’s buses to a nondescript example of any city’s strictly reliable and functional transport. Qué será, será. You’d have to have been there to see it.

When friends narrate their tourist horror stories, I nod my head and try to appear sympathetic, but safety and good luck are not simply products of staying at home. If they were, nobody would ever leave. Something about travel, especially to places you could not have imagined, opens itself to all kinds of pleasure, like sampling new foods, trying to out-grimace a gargoyle, spending money that looks phony as Monopoly cash, or stopping to stare at an architectural masterpiece still standing like a time machine after five centuries, and then getting the chance to step inside.

My new passport photo turned out to be a little glossy just above the forehead, where hair is supposed to grow, so the postal employee readjusted the lighting and took an alternative. He showed me the result and declared it should be acceptable. As a mug shot, I couldn’t complain, but privately I still think it didn’t do my skin tone justice.

Downfall: Local Edition

Police were dispatched to 602 Camino Del Rio earlier this month because two drunk men were fighting over a “camping claim” behind a gas station. One drunk sprayed the other with pepper spray and got arrested, but when the cops searched his pockets, they also found uncapped syringes. When confronted with the evidence, the pepper-spraying, claim-staking, needletoting drunk said the pants weren’t his. So, the Durango PD started using the “#WhoDoThesePantsBelongTo” on Facebook, but really, I just feel sorry for the naked heroin user who’s still out there.

It’s time to hit ‘go’ on 32nd bridge To the editor, As the City revisits the long-developed vision of a connected, traffic-separated Animas River Trail, it is important to understand the history that brought us here. Large projects bringing change to neighborhoods are often controversial, and the ART is no exception. While the trail as a whole seems universally embraced – cited in many surveys as the crown jewel of our park system – individual sections receive scrutiny and criticism as they are planned and built. None more so than 32nd Street to Oxbow.

Over 15, years this section was planned, modified and developed with an incredibly inclusive process that involved numerous meetings attended by hundreds of citizens. These included professionally mediated study sessions, paid consultants and literally thousands of person hours. While contentious at times, a community consensus was reached and a plan developed. What was never controversial was that the ART be linked to as many neighborhoods as possible, with no “at grade” crossings, allowing one to traverse the city without the fear of vehicle traffic. You can do this today from 32nd Street south to Home Depot.

Our latest section of the ART – 32nd Street north to the beautiful Oxbow Park and Preserve – is nearing completion. To link this with our existing trail will require an investment in the crossing of 32nd Street (the second busiest city street), the railroad tracks and the river. This bridge is designed, in the 2020 City budget (funded by the ½ cent sales tax for parks, recreation and multimodal projects, overwhelmingly re-authorized in 2015 by over 70 percent of voters), supported and funded with almost $500,000 of state of Colorado lottery money through Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), and ready to go.

It will allow kids and adults to travel from points north

to Riverview Middle School, Durango High School, the Recreation Center, downtown and points south, without fear of traffic interaction. This project was approved by our previous City Council and was recently recommended for

approval to our current City Council, with a 6-0 vote of the Multimodal and 6-1 vote of the Parks and Recreation citizen advisory boards. This is a strong indication that the community still supports the original ART and multi- 4

modal vision to “create a fully connected transportation network that provides for an outstanding transit, bicycling and walking community in Durango. A measure of achieving this vision is that a middle school-aged child is able to safely and conveniently access transit and bike or walk independently throughout Durango and its environs.”

As parents who raised a child north of 32nd Street, we can tell you first hand it is dangerous. Our son was well equipped to ride his bike to school alone when very young, but, because of the busy street crossing, we were not able to allow this. Even now, as a high schooler, he has stories of cars ignoring the flashing lights at the current crossing. I know of a friend’s dog who was run over as a car sped through the flashing crosswalk; and another of a biker losing his teeth when struck by a car there. Beyond abandoning the long-developed plan, there are real risks to not connecting the ART. As our new council prepares to approve the 2020 budget, there is concern that the 32nd Street bridge crossing is being re-visited. While many interests compete for dedicated sales tax funding, we need to understand that building this connection does not come at the expense of other projects. While a downtown Camino del Rio crossing and eventual connection to Three Springs are equally important, these projects are not ready to go. If we fail now to fund 32nd Street, it is likely never to be built (it will never be cheaper). We have then abandoned a traffic-separated ART and it becomes easier to abandon future difficult sections and GOCO funds would have to be returned. 32nd Street is ready to go: let’s check it off the list, improve public safety, accessibility and community connectivity. Next up will be the downtown Camino crossing.

We encourage Council to move forward with the longdeveloped community vision for the ART. Don’t be the ones to kill what is widely recognized as our best community asset; invest in our town’s future and respect our community’s vision, your advisory boards and the broader communities’ wishes. Connect the trail.

A disgusting mess at Cascade To the editor, A tractor-trailer overturned and burned on the evening of Aug. 22 on Highway 550 at the hairpin turn over Cascade Creek. The fire department and hazmat teams responded very quickly to put out the fire and clean up the diesel spill from the trucks fuel tanks. The wrecked truck was removed about a week later. However, there is still a large pile of truck engine/body parts, charred tires and other junk sitting on the side of the road as of this writing. Why hasn’t this been cleaned up? The rainwater is starting to wash the junk into the creek. It would take about an hour with a front loader to scrape all the trash up and put it in a roll-off container. San Juan County and CDOT have really dropped the ball by leaving a disgusting mess next to such a beautiful creek.

Elks vs. e-bikes on public lands To the editor, During recent years, some of Colorado’s elk herds have been declining, if not collapsing, due to the proliferation of outdoor recreation, including mountain bikes and, more recently, e-bikes, on public lands. Unfortunately, a recent move by the Trump administration will open millions of acres of public land trails to motorized e-bikes, threatening intact fish and wildlife habitat.

If you’re not familiar with e-bikes, they’re motorized (battery-driven) mountain bikes. “The new policy benefits primarily the makers of electric mountain bikes, whose websites encourage riders to blast throughout our backcountry trails and set new speed records,” Darrell Wallace, chairman of the Backcountry Horsemen of America, said.

“Since land managers lack sufficient resources to limit speeds on trails, how can backcountry users expect to continue to enjoy a tranquil backcountry experience?”

Today, some 98 percent of the lower 48 states is within one mile of a motorized route. Ninety-two percent of all national forest lands in Colorado lie within one mile of a road and there are over 17,000 miles of roads in Colorado’s national forests. In the White River National Forest alone, there are some 5,000 miles of system roads and trails. In the San Juan National Forest, motorized road miles increased from 2,817 in the late 1990s to more than 6,400 miles in 2008. How many miles of motorized routes are enough?

Countless studies have shown that more roads and trails mean fragmented habitat and fewer elk. At some point, we have to stand up for wildlands and wildlife vs. our own myopic self-interests. As Colorado Backcountry Hunters & Anglers founder David Petersen (a former U.S. Marine Corps helicopter pilot), said: “The three-part formula for assuring a rich elk hunting future … could hardly be simpler … Those three essential elements are: habitat, habitat and habitat.”

For additional information see: “Colorado BHA Report: Impacts of Off-Road Recreation on Public Lands Habitat.”

It takes a village

Shanta Foundation honors leaders in Myanmar

by Tracy Chamberlin

I

n a rural village in the southern Shan State of Myanmar, tucked between Thailand, Laos and China, the people were in need of water when someone arrived with a helping hand. That hand wasn’t carrying bottles filled with water or the blueprints to build a water tank.

It did not come with a ready-made solution. Just an idea and a belief that the people in that village could build a water tank themselves.

What can you do?

Over the past 13 years, the Shanta Foundation has helped more than 12,000 people take their first steps on a path out of poverty. Last year alone, the organization held dental clinics for more than 1,300 children from 16 different villages; helped establish school libraries in five communities reaching 486 students; and supported the building of new water systems that now provide clean water to more than 800 people.

This is all done with hard work and generous donations. If you want to help the Shanta Foundation do even more, visit www.shantafoundation.org. Learn more about the people, the country and how to donate.

That’s what Shanta is all about. It might take a year, or even two, but the women and men working for the Shanta Foundation, a Durango-based nonprofit that works with underserved rural villages in Myanmar, have discovered over the past 13 years that it is better to teach people how to solve their problems, than it is to solve those problems for them.

“The founders realized the power of a partnership,” Laurie Meininger, executive director for the Shanta Foundation, explained. “We’re not there to do for people, but to find out what are their needs, their wants, their desires and their vision of the future – for them, their families and communities.”

Then the question becomes, “How do we support that?” she said.

Learning to fish

The Shanta Foundation stemmed from a memorable trip Durango residents Mike and Tricia Karpfen took to Myanmar in 2004. Inspired by the people and communities they encountered, they started with one health clinic and built up an organization currently working on projects in 22 villages across the region.

Dr. Khaing Zar Oo, who everyone calls Nge Nge, was hired by the Karpfens in 2008 to work as a translator in that first clinic. It was supposed to be temporary, lasting just 10

Dr. Khaing Zar Oo, who everyone calls Nge Nge, above left, and Dr. Seinne Lai Zaw, right. As a licensed physician, Nge Nge manages all of Shanta’s health programs. She also works with villages on leadership development programs in the southern Shan State, which is located on the eastern side of the country along the border with Thailand.

Seinne Lai, who is also a licensed physician, joined Shanta in 2017 and oversees all country program operations. Pictured left, women in the Narr Hit village learn to make natural fertilizer for their home gardens./ Courtesy photo days. But, for Nge Nge, it became a passion that’s endured for more than a decade. Today she’s considered a part of that founding team and works as Shanta’s regional manager for the southern Shan State.

Nge Nge said she’s changed a lot over the years. “I’ve become more patient,” she added. “More of a listener than a speaker.”

It’s a change she attributes to Shanta’s model and approach to community development. The foundation works within a six-year timeframe to improve the health, infrastructure, financial well-being and educational outlook of an entire community.

“The goal that we would like to reach is not the project,” she explained. “It’s sustainable community development.”

This is also what intrigued Dr. Seinne Lai Zaw, who joined the group in 2017.

She’d been working for another nonprofit organization based in Myanmar when she learned of the Shanta Foun-

dation. She was captivated by the organization’s unique model of partnership and inclusive approach to community, which is why she decided to apply for the job of Country Manager.

What’s different about Shanta, according to Seinne Lai, is that they are not service providers. Other organizations will build the well, construct the school or open the medical clinic. The Shanta Foundation, however, helps the village learn how to do those things for themselves.

“It really is that analogy of ‘Give you a fish or teach you how (to fish?),’” Meininger added.

Creative outlet Shawn Lotze, Jon Bailey join Studio &’s fabulously quirky ranks

by Missy Votel

T

here are some new kids in the 1000 block of Main Avenue. Studio & Gallery, the venerable downtown bastion of off-beat, contemporary local art, has added two names to its placard: Shawn Lotze and Jon Bailey.

Lotze, a printmaker, sculptor and “jack of all trades,” and Bailey, whose colorful hand-drawn illustrations have become a staple in the cycling scene, came aboard in June and August, respectively. They join existing member-artist Elizabeth Kinahan and studio founder and mastermind, Tim Kapustka, as well as a handful of other artists who are represented by the gallery.

“Both of these guys have been members of our family for a long time,” said Kapustka, who opened Studio & in 2010 with three other local artists who have since moved on. In that time, there’s been a rotating cast of about 15 or 16 member artists. “Sometimes I feel like the bass payer who got the rights to the band name and keeps performing under the original name,” he said.

Lotze and Bailey have been involved in numerous Studio & shows as well as the annual holiday Bizarre Bazaar over the years, making them natural choices.

Plus, they both come from different disciplines, serving as good complements to Kapustka’s bold but brilliantly

simple graphic depictions of everyday objects and Kinahan’s lifelike yet ethereal animal paintings.

But before signing on the dotted line, Kapustka wanted to make sure the two knew what they were signing up for.

“My rule is, as soon as someone says, ‘yeah,’ I fullon try to talk them out of it,” said Kapustka.

This may seem like a strange recruitment tactic, but according to Kapustka, it’s just a precautionary measure.

He, of anybody, understands what it takes to be a working artist in Durango. In addition to hanging and taking down shows and working on their own art, members have to staff the floor, curate the everyday displays, and meet and greet customers. (Which includes the distinctively un-creative task of running the register.)

“When people come in, you’ve got to be a shopkeeper,” Kapustka said.

Despite the sidework – or perhaps because of it – Bailey and Lotze are embracing the opportunity.

“It’s been my favorite studio in town since I moved here,” said Lotze, who came to Durango in 2011 from the East Coast, where he earned an art degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. “I’m definitely standing on the shoulders of giants here.”

He said he appreciates Studio &’s mission, which is to take risks by supporting local artists who may not ex-

actly create mainstream work. “Studio & is the only one that gave out opportunities like that,” he said of his early days as an artist. “That’s part of the appeal that brought me to Studio & in the first place. It wasn’t just about one artist.”

Bailey, who has been involved with Studio & since its inception, said now that the hecticness of moving into the studio is over, he is settling into the daily creative groove.

“It’s like a perfect calmness,” he said.

Lotze, who installs garage doors by day, agrees that gallery life is a welcome change.

“I call it my sanctuary,” he said.

Lotze is the first of the two to have his own show at the gallery – a collection of three new sculptures, “Everyday Wings,” which is up now through Sat., Sept.

28. Lotze said he tries to use found, recycled or scrap items in his work as much as possible. He also likes to imbue humor into his pieces, whether it be a scrapmetal action figure or a dinette table deconstructed and flipped on his side.

“The goal is to make it fun, but if you want to go into more depth, the depth is there,” he said.

Bailey, whose epic exploits on two wheels are the stuff of legend, naturally got his start making bike-related art, posters and the like. (In a possibly lesser-

;<=><?;>?@<; 5 #%"AB"#+C!"#""D# #EF*:%*1 telegraph

known factoid, he went to Kent State on an art scholarship, so has the artistic chops as well.) For him, joining Studio & was about finally having a home base for his growing endeavor. Like many artists, he finds the whole self-promotion/technological piece of the puzzle difficult to embrace, but nonetheless necessary. “I’ve done my hardest not to have a platform, no website, social media or Instagram,” said Bailey. “But, when people ask ‘Hey, where can I see your art?’ I thought it’d be nice to have a spot where you could go see it and you didn’t need wi-fi.”

He also sees the studio as offering a place for him to expand creatively.

“It’s really an opportunity to push fresh work that isn’t commercial art,” he said.

And amid the fresh work, fans can still expect to see one of Bailey’s favorite subjects, the solar-paneled train, which he has dubbed the “Durango-Silverton Solar Railway.”

“I’ve been putting solar panels on the train for the last decade,” he said. Sometimes, with varying reactions. One year, he made art for a volunteer T-shirt for a local event, which featured a whimsical solar panel-sporting train.

When the T-shirts came out, he was surprised and a bit dismayed to see the solar panels had been erased.

“That just pushed more and more panels on every train I drew,” he laughed.

For Bailey, it’s not about criticizing, but about educating and using his art for activism – “dreaming better not bigger,” as he says.

And the environment plays a central role in that.

“I figure that should be the only thing we should be working toward protecting,” he said, adding that, without the Earth, humans and life would cease to exist. “In general, that’s always been part of how I’ve looked at drawings – systems, ecology, patterns and nature … they just inspire me.”

And who knows? Maybe next time you’re downtown, you can drop in and see Bailey’s pen running wild on one of his intricately connected doodles or Lotze turning some old Formica into a family dinner table gone awry.

“Allisons’ Acrylics,” by Shawn Lotze, is on display at Studio & through Saturday as part of his “Everyday Wings” exhibit. It’s juxtaposed against Jon Bailey’s “New American Manifest Destiny,” which features his trademark solarpaneled train (and also graced a past issue of The Gulch magazine)./Photo by Stephen Eginoire Which is just how Kapustka has envisioned it from the start. Although over the years he admits the studio has morphed to become more gallery than studio, having working artists on site has always been part of Studio &’s DNA. “We’ve always referred to that as the ‘zoo’ factor,” he said. “‘Oh, you can see real live artists at work.’ We’re

hyper-intentional about keeping that.”

And now, there’s two more talented artists to add to the Studio & menagerie.

“That’s the exciting stuff for us,” he said. “Now people can see and buy Jon and Shawn’s art. And that’s what’s cool.” n

Portrait of an artist: David Crosby still a musical force What: “David Crosby: Remember My Name,” a documentary by A.J. Eaton and Cameron Crowe When: Thurs. – Sun., Sept. 26-29 Where: Animas City Theatre, 128 E College Drive Tickets: $11; animascitytheatre.com for show times Founding member of the iconic band Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, David Crosby may very well be credited with not just changing but setting the course of the 1960s sound in America. Now at 77, the musical legend, known for his cantankerous disposition and struggles with addiction, reflects on his life of music stardom while forging new paths to relevancy in this deeply personal documentary.

A favorite at last winter’s Sundance Film Festival, the film includes candid, and often no-holds barred, interviews with many who worked with and knew Crosby, including Neil Young, Graham Nash and Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, who called him “insufferable.”

It also contains current and archival footage as well as a soundtrack that will speak not just to loyal fans but legions of new ones.

Reflecting on his 50 years as a cultural force, Crosby is the first to admit he was never “easy.” De-

spite now being racked with health issues and facing an uncertain future after the dissolution of CSN in 2015, he has struck out to forge a new path in a world very different from the generation he came to define. Seeking out younger musicians and recording a pair of critically acclaimed new albums, Crosby is working to leave a lasting mark with unflinching honesty, self-examination, regret, fear, exuberance and an unshakable belief in family and the transformative power of music. He shares his often-challenging journey with humor and bite, an artist still tilting at windmills, with everything but an easy retirement in mind.

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called “David Crosby: Remember My Name” one of the best rock docs of all time, with its “no-bull immediacy” filmmaking.

“Though we see archival clips and photos of the musician through the years, with the timeless sounds of ‘Helplessly Hoping,’ ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,’ ‘Carry On’ and ‘Déjà Vu’ alive on the soundtrack, it’s the way the film and its scrappy subject live so potently and provocatively in the present that make it indispensable,” he wrote.

AskRachel Interesting fact: Beyoncé is a contemporary pop culture reference for me, but her first solo album, “Dangerously in Love,” came out when Greta Thunberg (she who is now changing the world) was merely 5 months old.

Dear Rachel, I need some serious assistance in learning how to club dance. Not really an issue here in Durango, to be sure. But when I visit friends in the bigger cities, they always want to go dancing, which means some place with a DJ and electronic dance music and blacklight wrist stamps and people (so many people) much younger than me. How on earth do I participate in the madness?

– Two Left Club Feet Dear Stumpy, The older I get, the longer it’s been since I’ve danced in a club. But I remember from back in the day there being two kinds of club dancers: the kind Beyoncé (or, let’s be real, M.C. Hammer) hires to dance on stage with them, and the rest of us, who gyrate aimlessly and maybe sometimes imitate the other dancers to try to fit in and then it becomes a way to make fun of everyone else at the club without them realizing it because good god do we all look ridiculous. Try that?

– Un-cha un-cha un-cha un-cha, Rachel

art? You know the ones I mean. A musician has a $15 CD, and you’re the only one who stopped to listen, so you feel obligated to buy it so they don’t go home and OD. What’s another way to support them without, you know, supporting them?

– Starving Arts Supporter Dear Priceless, There’s the old maxim, “Buy an artist’s stuff and they’ll eat for a day. Teach them to sell their own stuff, and they’ll go hungry forever.” Seriously, if you’d gone broke supporting artists and couldn’t do it anymore but still wanted to support them, I’d be building your pedestal right now. But to think artists are doing it for the money? Get outta here. Applaud them. Follow them on Instagram. Tell your friends about them. But don’t slag them in the local newspaper. Or else you’ll start putting art critics out of business too.

– One star, Rachel Dear Rachel, God, I am so proud of the children of today.

Seeing so many students participating in the climate strike, locally and internationally, I have actual hope that they are going to change the world. Greta Thunberg may be as important to us humans – maybe even more important – than MLK or Gandhi or Mother Theresa. Am I right to think so? Or will this movement evaporate like so many glaciers?

– Proud Parent

Email Rachel at telegraph@durangotelegraph.com

Dear Sideline Supporter, We’ll know they’ve made it when Shepard Fairey paints Greta. Just kidding. (Mostly.) I think you’re right, though.

These young people are our second-to-last best hope – the true last hope being us, if we listen to them and join them.

Even if we just imitate them, like other dancers in the club, we’ll be gyrating and boogieing in the right direction.

– Save the Earth, Rachel

!"#$%&'( )&*+,,.&/01%&20%3 40#)5

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Comedian John Cleese speaks of two different modes toward which we humans gravitate. The closed style is tight, guarded, rigid, controlling, hierarchical and tunnel-visioned. The open is more relaxed, receptive, exploratory, democratic, playful and humorous. I’m pleased to inform you that you’re in a phase when spending luxurious amounts of time in the open mode would be dramatically healing to your mental health. Luckily, you’re more predisposed than usual to operate in that mode. I encourage you to experiment with the possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Upcoming adventures could test your poise and wit. They may activate your uncertainties and stir you to ask provocative questions. That’s cause for celebration, in my opinion. I think you’ll benefit from having your poise and wit tested. You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by exploring your uncertainties.

You may even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to kick your ass in just the right gentle way so you will become alert to possibilities you have ignored or been blind to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Novelist John Irving asked, “Who can distinguish between falling in love and imagining falling in love?

Even genuinely falling in love is an act of the imagination.” That will be a helpful idea for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. Why? Because you’re more likely than usual to fall in love or imagine falling in love – or both. And even if you don’t literally develop a crush on an attractive person or deepen your intimacy with a person you already care for, I suspect you will be inflamed with an elevated lust for life that will enhance the attractiveness of everything and everyone you behold.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You know your body is made of atoms, but you may not realize that every one of your atoms is mostly empty space.

Each nucleus contains 99 percent of the atom’s mass, but is as small in comparison to the rest of the atom as a pea is to a cathedral. The tiny electrons, which comprise the rest of the basic unit, fly around in a vast, deserted area. So we can rightfully conclude that you are mostly made of nothing. That’s a good meditation right now. The coming weeks will be a fine time to enjoy the refreshing pleasures of emptiness. The less frenzy you stir up, the healthier you’ll be. The more spacious you allow your mind to be, the smarter you’ll become. “Roomy” and “capacious” will be your words of power.

18 n Sept. 26, 2019

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “We don’t always have a choice about how we get to know one another,” wrote novelist John Irving. “Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly – as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth.” This principle could be in full play for you during the coming weeks. For best results, be alert for the arrival of new allies, future colleagues, unlikely matches and surprise helpers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In North America, people call the phone number 911 to report an emergency. In much of the EU, the equivalent is 112.

As you might imagine, worry-warts sometimes use these numbers even though they’re not experiencing a legitimate crisis.

For example, a Florida woman sought urgent aid when her local McDonald’s ran out of Chicken McNuggets. In another case, a man walking outdoors just after dawn spied a blaze of dry vegetation in the distance and notified authorities. But it turned out to be the rising sun. I’m wondering if you and yours might be prone to false alarms like these in the coming days, Virgo. Be aware of that possibility. You’ll have substantial power if you marshal your energy for real dilemmas and worthy riddles, which will probably be subtle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I just cut my bangs in a gas station bathroom,” Libran blogger who calls herself MagicLipstick confesses. “An hour ago I shocked myself by making an impulse buy of a perfect cashmere trench coat from a stranger loitering in a parking lot,” another Libran blogger who refers to himself as MaybeMaybeNot testifies.

“Today I had the sudden realization that I needed to become a watercolor painter, then signed up for a watercolor class that starts tomorrow,” Libran blogger UsuallyPrettyCareful writes. In normal times, I wouldn’t recommend that you Libras engage in actions that are so heedlessly and delightfully spontaneous. But I do now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could call the assignment I have for you as “taking a moral inventory” or you could refer to it as “going to confession.” I think of it as “flushing out your worn-out problems so as to clear a space for better, bigger, more interesting problems.” Ready? Take a pen and piece of paper or open a file on your computer and write about your raw remorse, festering secrets, unspeakable apologies, inconsolable guilt and desperate mortifications. Deliver the mess to me at Truthrooster@gmail.com. I’ll print out your testimony and conduct a ritual of purgation. As I burn your confessions in my bonfire at the beach, I’ll call on the Goddess to purify your heart and release you from your angst. (P.S.: I’ll keep everything confidential.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Two hundred years ago, Sagittarian genius Ludwig Beethoven created stirring music that’s often played today. He’s regarded as one of history’s greatest classical composers. And yet he couldn’t multiply or divide numbers.

That inability made it hard for him to organize his finances. He once wrote about himself that he was “an incompetent business man who is bad at arithmetic.”

Personally, I’m willing to forgive those flaws and focus on praising him for his soul-inspiring music. I encourage you to practice a similar approach with yourself in the next two weeks. Be extra lenient and merciful and magnanimous as you evaluate the current state of your life. In this phase of your cycle, you need to concentrate on what works instead of on what doesn’t work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “When you hit a wall – of your own imagined limitations – just kick it in,” playwright Sam Shepard wrote.

That seems like a faulty metaphor to me.

Have you ever tried to literally kick in a wall? I just tried it, and it didn’t work. I put on a steel-toe work boot and launched it at a closet door in my basement, and it didn’t make a dent. Plus now my foot hurts. So what might be a better symbol for breaking through your imagined limitations? How about this: use a metaphorical sledgehammer or medieval battering ram or backhoe. (P.S. Now is a great time to attend to this matter.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1965, Chinese archaeologists found an untarnished 2,400-year-old royal bronze sword that was still sharp and shiny. It was intricately accessorized with turquoise and blue crystals, precision designs and a silk-wrapped grip. I propose we make the Sword of Goujian one of your symbolic power objects for the coming months. May it inspire you to build your power and authority by calling on the spirits of your ancestors and your best memories. May it remind you that the past has gifts to offer your future. May it mobilize you to invoke beauty and grace as you fight for what’s good and true and just.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “All human beings have three lives: public, private and secret,” Piscean novelist Gabriel García Márquez wrote.

I will add that during different phases of our lives, one or the other of these three lives might take precedence or need more care than usual. According to my analysis, your life in the coming weeks will offer an abundance of vitality and blessings in the third area: your secret life. For best results, give devoted attention to your hidden depths. Be a brave explorer of your mysterious riddles.
