Following tracks in snow or river mud is one way to read a story. Or listen to a bugling elk across a mountain; sniff your way into a mushroom patch. The earth shares stories, and i try to pass them along too.
Various experiences yield to a story impulse: guiding llama pack trips, collecting water samples, peeling logs. Work is fruitful
