The Map of My Head

These three points, with an equally strong pull between them, have done the heavy lifting in shaping my world.

Trial by Fire

In our move from Austin to the hill country, I represent the move with a jagged line. This signifies the changes that occurred not just in my lifestyle but also at the way I "attuned" myself to the world around me.

If you look at the design that was formed (bare with me), it almost looks like a single flame. This burning flame between the three major spots in my life epitomizes the journey that I have been through in surviving the wild. All the journeys that have changed me have taken place since I moved out of the city, and, in a way, into the unknown. This "trial by fire" so to speak also links together my love for our river property and my love for storytelling, as both become crystallized around a campfire.

My family took the road less traveled, and indeed that decision has made all the difference.
