We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.
These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.
They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
