It's Me. I Chose This. I Chose

When I Climb A Fourteener, A 14,000-foot/4,260-meter Peak, In The Winter By Myself, I Leave An Itinerary And Information About Where My Vehicle Will Be Parked And The Name Of The County Sheriff To Contact In Case I Don't Get Home.

It Adds Up, But I Deem It All Necessary, Even The Camera Gear. I Enjoy Photographing The Otherworldly Colors And Shapes Presented In The Convoluted Depths Of Slot Canyons And The Prehistoric Artwork Preserved In Their Alcoves.

Saying Farewell Is Also A Bold And Powerful Beginning.

I Stepped Out Of My Grave And Into My Life Again.

Perhaps It’s Time, I Muse, To Close Those Chapters And Remember The Enduring Lesson Of My Entrapment: That Relationships, Not Accomplishments, Are What’s Important In Life.
