The Perch

08/27/2026

Dear Ones, Your collective presence has become a constellation of light surrounding us through the darkest and most harrowing experience of our lives. The magnitude of our gratitude for all the loving, supporting, helping, believing & praying for Luce is to the moon. Every kind extension and every expression of love has reached us. We are profoundly, eternally grateful. Please keep loving us.

This last week contained much progress, in many complications, and standstills. We wish we could say “all is well,” for Luce’s heart, yet we are not out of the woods. We keep moving forward and hoping ferociously for healing, but metaphorically, we remain in the thicket of the briars as much as we found ourselves on the very first day.

Navigating this medical mystery maze is unfathomably hard. No answers have been unearthed as to why Luce’s good heart suddenly gave out, and that does happen in humans from time to time. Weird as it is, we are grateful that brilliant doctors are not pretending to know when they do not know. One said, “the more we learn about hearts, the more that we do not know is revealed.” The heart of every human is a frontier.

Meanwhile, our days and nights are measured by monitors, machines, beeps & blood. The cardiac ICU is a crisis concert. Luce & I aim each day to be very centered, brave and strong, yet the struggle is a heartfelt war. All we can do is pray for our Luce to come back, fully alive & full of heart.

This week at the Perch. Themed Thursday launches a weekend long Love and Light and positive energy for Luce! A South African inspired series of dishes and cocktails are featured in hopes of harnessing all the healing vibes and sending them straight to our favorite “The Mountain Chooses You” welcome wagon. Let’s enjoy some nourishing grub, fanciful drinks, epic cars, a Perch brunch and farm fresh harvests… capping the weekend off with a mountain jam in the garden to top off the barrels of love and energy. Let’s remind Luce that we know he is South Africa Strong and can’t wait for his chosen home to welcome him back.

Day 11, we hold on. We hold hope, we hold healing, we hold on, and above all we hold Luce’s heart in a surrounding of immense LOVE. The above is us, truly holding hands.

Luce has woken up, and is strong spirited! Every moment feels vulnerable, and is, yet we believe a miracle is comprised of all the many mini miracles. One minute at a time.

Forgive us for not writing back or updating as we’d love to. Every twenty minutes in the ICU is another all enveloping activity, and Luce is being fully present in his body & I am being fully present for Luce.

Know we are over the moon enamored with gratitude for all the love, light, prayers, kindness, caretaking & generosity. Whether you to write us, provide help to us, give to us, or uplift us in your hearts, everything is all is very meaningful!

You’ve wonderfully knocked the wind out of us, and you’re fair weathering us through an entirely unforeseen & unimaginable experience. Our world lost all color, yet we pray not forever.

We are beyond infinitely, eternally grateful. All our love to all of you. 💛

TONIGHT! 💫

✨ Astronomy Night at The Perch ✨

On Friday, July 31, we’ll be treated to one of the best celestial shows of the summer! The Delta Aquariid Meteor Shower will be near its peak, sending 20+ meteors per hour streaking across the night sky. At the same time, the Alpha Capricornids will be putting on their own show with their famously bright, slow-moving fireballs.

Join us as we look up in wonder with Michelle Fredricks, loved local who graces us once each year to share her knowledge and passion for everything beyond Planet Earth. 🌎✨

And there’s no better place to experience the sky than Pine Mountain Club—widely considered one of California’s premier locations for stargazing thanks to its dark nights and mountain setting.

✨ Bring your universal curiosity, prepare to be amazed, and come experience the wonder of the night sky with us! 🌠 FREE to attend! Please consider enjoying drinks & dinner with us before, after & during! Event takes place on our upper deck!
