Do you ever find yourself looking back to the present? Memories drift from the past but update themselves in a strange way. They can hibernate for years...decades...then pop up suddenly. They are not just visions of living as you pass through time, but sensations that infiltrate your mind and senses—through your whole being...down to the bones.
Thanks for your comment on Sabino Canyon. Our home here is in Tubac, about 50 miles south, and we've never made it to the Canyon. But your note makes us want to visit!
I’ll take this as a reason to ask myself new questions. My upbringing was overflowing with nostalgia for a former time. No wonder I’m always looking for the history underlying the present.
Yes, good to think about this influence of the past on our present. We live in Arizona half the year now, and I recognized your mention of Sabino Canyon, near Tucson. Unless there's another Canyon named Sabino?

Loved this post, especially all 4 paintings used to express the point.
