Artist Statement:
Land of Knowing
On this land I meet solace and peace
I find sacred wisdom and knowing
I hear the song of the mountain
A prayer
A call
An anthem
It sways me into dreaming
Jolts me into seeing
This land stokes wonder and awe
Gives breath to my spirit
Will one day hold my bones
All the answers are on this land
I need to keep listening
To the cry of the coyote
The thirst of the yucca
The scent of the creosote
The tangerine skies at sunset
With layers of pink and blue
This land embodies the divine
