From two days ago: You don’t often think that places like this exist in the US, but they do, dating back to the 800s AD. And they speak to the fact that we don’t really have “ownership” of this land and these so-called borders that have landed us in such deep conflict, sorrow, and loss of human connection and compassion. Pictures do not do this place justice, and do not show the vast space of rock, high and dry temperatures, and the road to hell it took to get here 😉 (one hour to drive 20 miles). This is one of many, many sites in this area at Chaco Culture Canyon National Historical Park. Camped the night here, contemplating the state of our country and what it takes to make significant change...

Thank you, @annalaurelbooth , for the warm welcome, company, beautiful views, opportunity for art making, your charming bathroom, current jam, and chocolate chip cookies for the road ❤️. Looking forward to a Georgia O’Keefe (or other) adventure in the next year or two!

Back on the road alone again after a brief rendezvous with friends ❤️. I wasn’t able to draw so much during two weeks of teaching with prepping in the evenings, plus I was in the same location throughout that time. But here are the few things I was able to fit in. First drawing is incomplete due to an impending thunderstorm.

Dear Friends, This is a platform. Or a window. And the place where I will still show you what steps I am taking to move away from this. Can we still live into our experiences, our senses, without even the interrupting thought of capturing or sharing the moment? Who are we if we are not human and relating to one another through our senses, our feelings, our in-person and interpersonal offerings. I am tired of my own self-interruptions. One of my favorite things about being on the road, in nature, in desolate areas, is being freed from distractions of this kind. Last year I had the idea of documenting my trip in drawings. I quickly failed simply due to the amount of mileage I was covering while driving. I am trying a slower pace and I am trying again. And I what I am still sharing here are images that were created away from this debilitating device. Make good use of it, share important and beautiful things, and then make sure you fill yourself up with a healthy dose of uninterrupted quality experiences. Love, Sara
