“Walking the Land”
When I dreamed up the idea for this project I had this really romantic and quite frankly ridiculous vision of myself “walking the land”. In these visions I was wearing hiking boots. Maybe I would need a compass to set a bearing back from the highway where I’d park my car with the clicker on. I always pictured myself alone in a forest on these walks, at least I never envisioned running into anyone as I was earnestly, lovingly ‘retracing those first steps’.
I still have some pretty deep-seeded Eurocentric views about land. A friend pointed out that this post uses the word *EXPLORE, one I should try to eliminate from my vocabulary. (*Settler Insight)
