THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE JOURNEY

 These are the fragments of a life lived in pursuit of the truth. The journal is the vessel holding the unedited ache and discovery of the trail. The medicine bag is the heartbeat, tethered to the spirit and the stories that came before. And the staff, carved and guided by the compass, is the instrument of the walk. People often ask where the stories come from. They do not come from the chair or the desk. They are gathered here, in the spaces between the trees, where the noise of the world fades, and the work begins. This is not a collection of objects. This is the weight I carry so that I might bring it for you.
