Today’s beautiful thing, which was actually one of yesterday’s so many beautiful things. This foal is made of light.

Might have fallen in love with a new fella today

Hard to pick a favorite image from our biggest day on Kjölur. Just shy of 50 kilometers. A lot of it on good riding trails with fast tölters. So much wind! But no rain since the first day and lots of glaciers.

Reunited with my girl Salka for a beach ride!

Beauty on the beach. Snæfellsness. 5:00am

We got up at 3am so as not to miss low tide

Today’s beautiful thing. Our home for the night: Grímsstaðir. First day of the Snæfellsness tour in the books. I rode Birna and Skörungur, both beautiful tölters.

Today’s beautiful thing. Raj and the clouds.

These are not strays.

Beloved pets are heading to L.A. shelters as families face deportation. They need new fosters and forever homes.

What would be funny, if it were not about forever damaged little girls, is the idea that there is anyone in the entire universe who doesn’t already know who is on that list.

Today’s beautiful thing. IAIA campus.

One more beautiful thing left over from Ireland.

Hey Santa Fe. I’ll be reading new work tonight out at IAIA MFA in Creative Writing with Anne McDonnell and Jennifer Givhan. Come on out and join us at 6 in the CLE!

Shave ice lamb.

Keel Beach, County Mayo.

Until The Lion Learns To Write, Every Story Will Glorify The Hunter - Zimbabwean proverb I was walking through the crosswalk at the corner of Avenue de l’Aiguille du Midi and Chemin du Sapi in Chamonix, on my way back from a three-hour hike in the Réserve Naturelle Nationale des Aiguilles...

Wrote a thing on Substack about my love for Chamonix and some otber stuff worked its way in there too. open.substack.com/pub/pamhoust...

Today’s beautiful thing. 4:43 am our out window in Achill Island, County Mayo. No sleep after news of the big murderous bill. But the beauty is right out the window here and everywhere reminding me to see it. Also, who knew there were palm trees in Ireland?

Today’s beautiful thing. Camping by the sea in County Sligo.

Today’s beautiful thing. I know it was a hard one back home. I cried from 4 am to 7 am for shame. Then I went out and found this. It’s what I know how to do.

It’s hard, on a day like today, to even write the words “beautiful thing.” And yet there is the world’s beauty, showing up, as it always does, along with the sorrow. James Baldwin taught me that even in grief, I have to keep loving it, because if I don’t, all that will be left of me is fear.

Happy Solstice everyone. Thank you Mother Earth for taking us around again in spite of everything. I wish all my friends, this solstice, a slice of lemon tart in the sun.

Happy Juneteenth from Chamonix. These are European globe flowers, my absolute favorite of so many to choose from. Today’s beautiful thing.

Today’s beautiful thing. A hike to one of our favorite meadows off of Bellevue.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Over the past 13 years, DACA has allowed people to contribute fully to New Mexico. The hostility toward immigrants coming from this administration puts DACA at risk and tears families apart. I will do everything I can to protect DACA recipients and keep our communities whole.

Brown Shirts.
No uniforms, no badges, no warrants just thuggery.

No one is safe from this unless we stop it.
