     National Geographic did a survey all over the world for the quietest places on Earth. And they determined that the Great Sand Dunes National Park was the quietest place on Earth, and we're only about four or 5 miles as the crow flies away from the quietest place on Earth. So therefore, my favorite thing about Crestone is the quiet.

     The things I love most about Crestone are the community gatherings, the people, the food, the music, and *especially* the dancing.

     I love the familiar faces, even when we meet for the first time.

     I'm really loving the growing sense of community that's really starting to blossom more and more. That's beautiful. And I love that it's such a beautiful place to raise children, as well, compared to other cities.

     What I love the most about Crestone is that everywhere else you would go is not at all like Crestone. And thank God for that.

     The silence, the stillness and the spaciousness, as well as the wonderful community. The people *really, really* care about each other. And during these very strange, shifting times, it has been really a place of refuge.

     I love that we have access to fresh, drinkable water from the source.

     Mostly, I love the grandeur and beauty of these mountains. The way the light plays every day with shadow and the clouds and the manifestation of lions and portals and just beauty. So, it helps my heart get into a place of unconditional love and beauty no matter what's going on.

     I like that it's beautiful. I like the freedom to build what you want. The people. And all the aliens here. What I like about Crestone is it's the exact opposite of where I grew up!

     Crestone has enough space to be myself.
