Lovely writing, John, as always, and your photography is up to the task of complementing the words. All your pictures consistently remind me of what I experience every trip to New Mexico; it is all about the light.
Beautiful piece. That tension between wanting to flee grief versus letting it reshape us is something I've grappled with too, especally after losing a close friend. The part about there being no mistakes, just unique constellations of time and consciouness, puts a different spin on regret that feels more freeing. Makes me wonder if thats the key to aging gracefully, accepting all of it as necessary.
