I am in a new current; I accept this baptism by whirlwind, this walk into expanses so endless it is like stargazing. snow from distant mountain ranges travels beside me though its path is elusive in this bone-dry vastness, and that moisture is never easy to discover. through Sage, Juniper and Yucca tangled into a tapestry of peculiar geological mishaps—I travel so far that I am suddenly small and unknown but somehow at home; how awe is simply the sudden recognition of place, a sense of belonging to the vastness you had forgotten.
