I wondered if there was something particular about being in the West that is transformative for me. I’ve felt that before, both on my first trip across the country and in my time in Texas.
The mountains emerged first as a dim shadow on the horizon that may have been any sort of meteorological phenomenon. Then they began to take shape as something solid but with as yet to be determined shape and form. I started to wonder if this might not be an analogy for the way I would come to understand myself in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
