I live in rural Texas, though much of my life has been spent in an urban environment. Now I am much more aware of changes in nature, and how we are truly a small part of something much larger. As a result, my writing and photography has shifted in focus. I now see myself as some kind of witness to things that would probably go unrecorded otherwise.
Any land will give up words, and history, and secrets. I am still naive enough to think that my life is meant to gather what this land I walk on has to say, the colors and the smells, what is old and what is new - to preserve it in phrases and lines and images - as if there might be something worth saving.
