Texas Past

This piece is a tribute to the history of Texas.  I’m not talking actual history – rather, it’s the type of history that is apparent when one drives secondary or country back roads – deserted homesteads and cabins.  Whenever I see these deserted buildings, I can’t help but imagine how different the lives of those that once lived in those building were from ours today.  Handwritten correspondence, ledgers to keep track of sales and purchases, the ebb and flow of the seasons – all of these were very much different from what we experience today.  Time passes and the past is the key to our present and our future, however different they may be. Pay attention.

Enjoy!
