You want to ask, am I lonely? Well, of course, lonely as a woman driving across country day after day, leaving behind mile after mile little towns she might have stopped and lived and died in.

From Song by Adrienne Rich (via hush-syrup)

Here's the latest from my personal work. When my sister and I stopped at the little gas station in Wolf Creek, the evening sun was filtering through the mountains, one sharp beam illuminating my favorite worn-out roadside sign. All bulbs missing, a ghost of its former glory -- but for a brief moment the sunlit blue of the aging painted metal was the brightest color in the valley.  - in Wolf Creek, Montana

I opened my front door to this view. Good Morning!

"Open your being to experience--as challenging and frightful as that may be--and let that experience guide you in a direction that makes you feel comfortable in your skin. In that state you are much more likely to communicate stories that will remain open to the world, stories, lessons and themes that your successors will dote upon and use in a way that fits their time. As my teacher Adamu Jenitngo liked to remind me: remember the past, live well in the present and think about the future..."

- anthropologist Paul Stoller, interviewed after receiving the Anders Retzius gold medal for his contributions to the field from the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography
