Insisting Wind
Over the Pass
Flowing Bedrock
Starting with the question:
What does it mean to go over the mountain?
I wonder through history how travel has changed, how families have dispersed, and how weather patterns or seasons impact this movement.
Perhaps we take heed from our “more than human” counterparts, watching the migrating flocks, river cuts, or talus tumbling to pebbles.
Or could it be that the notion of the mountain and what it means to be on the incline, summiting, or on the other side is deeply embedded in the nooks and crannies of our psyche?
Growing up in Buffalo, Wyoming, now making home in the flatlands and fertile soil of the Midwest, I feel deeply rooted to the foothills as a lens to find myself in this world. Brilliant Wyoming sunsets over the mountains oriented the west. It was as if my centering point was outside of myself, resting on the peaks, like the jeweled bearing of a compass.
