Reflection
A relaxed sense of the cycle of days and unfolding journey among good friends develops. It is a dance of the landscape and inscape, object and subject, knowledge and instinct, the simple and profound. It is all tied together by love: love of land, love of family and friends. I want to speak this forward, give testimony and praise the cultural recognition that has protected these places so far. Photography accompanies the days and the experience revealed by the paths of our feet. Conversation and reflection joins the evening and night. The four of us engage in fine improvisational cooking in Gary and Krista’s well stocked little trailer. Writing joins occasionally during times of rest and waiting. Much of obligation and responsibility has been suspended by distance from home. A temporary but real freedom is with us.
