Thank you for reading The Gargoyle – my newsletter exploring themes of authenticity, creativity, and curiosity.
This week I’m sharing snaps from recent trip west. More longform writing soon!
Life of late has been… what’s the word?
Ah, yes - “Bonkers.” Life has been bonkers lately.
I won’t bore you with the entire story. Suffice to say, I have gone through (still going through) one of the biggest life changes a person can go through. A “sea change,” if you will.
“And I knew that I had undergone a sea change. Because I was never again going to be able to see life as anything except a great gift.”
- Anna Quindlen, A Short Guide to a Happy Life
Thank God, this recent change has been a happy one, with happy secondary effects too - like the unexpected boom in my creative life (one that feels years in the making). My responsibilities and challenges have undeniably grown, but so have my resilience and resourcefulness.
And… just as I was feeling a bit run down by the momentum of the last few months, I received the blessed opportunity to recharge and refuel out west in Arizona. Below are some snaps from my recent few days in the desert, spent in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley.
That’s it!
Thanks for letting me share these photos with you!
I’ll post again next week with highlights from the second half of my trip west - a short few days in the Bay Area.
