I left my little sanctuary at the end of 2022. I've never left for so long before. It was only a month, but it felt so much longer. Work took me to Pennsylvania, to a Christmas train on which I was photographing families celebrating together while I was so far from my own. The experience tested me. Tested all the work I've done in all the years of therapy. But, I had my sketchbooks and, of course, my camera. Thankfully, our B&B was off in the woods, abandoned buildings all around and a hiking trail right below. Moss on every surface. So, I was able to walk alone and explore the way I love to do. Here are the results of many days spent on the hunt for peace of mind.
