Christina Moses Instagram – yesterday was the 8th. one month ago Altadena burned.
the first few photos are the transition from what i bought to what i created. (🙏🏽 @studiojohnsharp @nogapools @serapio_rangel @green_line_gardening)

tuesday jan 7th. the wind. the embers. the flames. the ash. the birds. the trees. pine and jasper tree branches flying across my front yard terrifyingly fast. telephone polls like broken limbs or toothpicks scattered. entire palm and oak trees ripped out at the root through concrete laying like fallen giants in the middle of major city streets. i’ve never seen anything like this in LA.
🔥
the night my house burned, jan 8th driving through the streets i saw a coyote pacing back and forth before trotting onto a lawn disappearing behind the house that was still standing. surrounded by other houses still standing. too with green grass. refuge.
🔥
LA. my home. our. home.
this city.
as much as i have complained about los angeles. i was born here. raised here. i will always love her.
and how fortunate i was to have found this gem that is altadena. to be welcomed with such open arms and to have felt more home here than anywhere i have ever lived in los angeles… to have been able to build my sanctuary here…such blessings i cherish deeply.
🔥
altadena you are golden. rare. the most diverse and eclectic in all of los angeles with history of integrity and grit. of art. creativity. innovation and power. this town is mighty.
and will rise.
higher stronger deeper than ever before.
the possibilities are endless. the vision is vast.
🔥
thank you @mytriberise and @altanot4sale
and the other altadena organizations who put on the rally yesterday, for your tireless work to help protect altadena.
yesterday was hard, but being there with my community was/is everything. 🙏🏽♥️
