It’s been some time, huh? It’s been an age. There’s never a good place to start blogging again, is there? I’ve got six months of adventures and art and general goings-on to catch you up on, but I thought that maybe the best place…
I’ve made friends with the Timbisha Shoshone people who’ve called this amazing place home for centuries. One of their elders told me stories of underground cities, of giants, of animal spirits who show the way to water if they accept you as one with…
