Jeff Hood is a poet, gardener and adventurer in wild places. He has had more careers than is healthy, but most of them have been great fun, and or great learning. He has recently bought a little apple orchard in Velarde and is looking forward to life in a small community on the Rio. His go-to question, when faced with tough decisions comes from Sai Baba: "Before you talk, think: Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it hurt anyone? Will it improve upon the silence?
