“Our personal histories are curious things, fixed in time yet nearly blank pages upon which we write any particular interpretation depending on our mood when we tell the story. Who knows where the real memories ended, and the tale began?”

From me…

In writing Field Blends I found myself often thinking of the places I've called home, of reconciling some emotional connection between the big cities where many of us live and the small towns that give us roots. Of the ideas and experiences that we carry with us on our journeys, and of people we meet and ideas that challenge us along the way. I wrote Field Blends because I believe we need more maps on walls that remind us of the lands, climates, histories, and people that remain when the fog of fear is lifted and lines in the earth are swept away by time. And, importantly, we need more moments of quiet clarity such that we might step through the stemmed and fluted looking glass long enough to appreciate the majesty of that by which we are surrounded. I hope you enjoy the story!
