Navato, CA
Rachaell Gabrielle
Wind howls with recognition. Marin County sits just above the Bay and congesting fog. 5 o'clock shadows stress who residents used to be, looking out their windows for an image of what once was. Neighbors sue one another for their trees blocking their views of freedom, demanding their glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge. Along the highways, litter dances. Most wildlife has strayed elsewhere. However, vultures circle above. Only the mighty oak trees appear solid yet out of place, barricaded into small pockets between busyness, order, and hysteria.

Rachaell Gabrielle grew up in Hawaii and the Pacific NW, wandering into the wilderness. The lull of the ocean and the majesty of mountains juxtapose humility and exaltation in her life. Her philosophy is to enact and model a deep love and awe for the world, to feel content with a smidgen of understanding while paradoxically not fixing it. She has studied Philosophy|Ethics, English as a Second Language, and English. Rachaell has worked in education at the University and State levels. And as a wilderness guide in Alaska, Oregon, and Northern California.
