Oh Sarah, I’m so glad I finally know what you’re talking about — a morel hunt to heal and retrain the mind!

I got to accompany an experienced friend to comb the burn scars in the California Sierras after one of our horrible fire seasons. It was transformative to find something so beautiful in such a tragedy. And then, to cook them all up with garlic and butter on the fire before we bedded down — best meal of my life.
