Just to touch those pieces of pottery, to hold them in your hands. A wondrous connection to a way of life so pure and close to the earth. The mugs in the museum are magnificent; i can't wrap my head around the fact that they are at least 1,100 years old. They are just so present and yet so distant in a way that bends my mind. The stonework of Escalante Pueblo touches my heart. Unto the seventh generation indeed. How fortunate you and Jason are to be in such a place.
You said this so well. It is so amazing -- I got goosebumps when I held my first pottery shard. I couldn't sleep after getting to tour the museum -- my mind was filled with wonder. Feeling so grateful to be here.
I feel for those who've lost their jobs in the park service and other like-places. I've spent almost my entire life traveling the country and visiting the parks. Now there are so many more than there were during my childhood a long time ago. Some care about exploitation and money and can't understand beauty. Lisa, I resonate with your mug collection. I have one, too, and drooled over those Native mugs! And the scenery! That's an area I've not been to.

Eve and I are still using your 2007 NPSOT/NPAT Symposium mug, which has held up fine and looks new.
That is awesome!!! Can I come and visit it sometime? I gave mine away!

It is so heartbreaking. I wish there was something more I could do. And on a happier note -- yay for mug collections!
You must be a descendent of the People!
Love those wide open western landscapes. Good luck with your residency.
