This is my follow-up conversation with Scott Norris after visiting him for a portrait session in the Mojave Desert.  The experience brought a true and powerful meaning to feeling comfortable in my skin; it also raised questions about compassion and representations of self I'm not close to answering.

As Dogen said, 'The mountains are walking.'  I'll continue to walk this path with much gratitude to Scott and the other artists who have shared their art, work, and lives through our conversations and connections over the past few years.
