I am not a taxidermist. I can barely say I’m a hunter, or a true outdoorsman for that matter. But a word has been lingering in my ear for the past little while, and figuring out when, where, and how to act on that has me wondering about getting started.
Explore. That’s the word. It’s coming to define me, I think. As I lean into this second season of life, something is tugging at my senses to explore. What exactly? I don’t know. The outdoors and this set of small mounts I’m working are a part of it. They are not all of it, but they are an important part.
It’s a small start, but it’s a start nonetheless.
What’s your take?
