Life's landscapes

This evening we hung out with a bunch of friends and had a conversation around the concept of life as a landscape.

It's an interesting way to think about your life, where you've been, what you've walked through, and who you've walked with.

Some people think in this space very easily, and find it easy to put words and pictures on it. Others struggle. I think I'm somewhere in between.

It's always good to get windows into the lives of others, and to see how they make sense of what they see around them. If there is a sense of trust that exists between those who share, then the world of pictures can open up all kinds of deep and fascinating and bewildering vistas.

As always, the conversation was topped with a solid round of eating and drinking and more conversing. It's nice to live in a landscape that allows for picnics.
