The 45th parallel marks our home in Antrim County as a halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole.
I'm fortunate to know many Champions of Michigan, and when I think of them, Seth Bernard is tops.

I live not so far from Sleeping Bear, and this poem, Sleeping Bear, is close to my heart.

"He's got a map of Michigan / in the palms of his hands" Seth Bernard, Fire Pig from the album Reconciliation |
He hosts Earthwork Harvest Gathering on his family farm every September, where my current life in Northern Michigan first took root. He is a steward of this place, a community builder, an advocate, a nurturer, a singer, songwriter and musician.
In 2014, when I was in one of my worst states of mental health, his song, Dying for Me, helped carry me through.
