Ted Sorensen grew up wrangling cattle in southern Utah with his father. As an adult, he spent years as a teacher and entrepreneur. It is the time that he spent teaching on reservations and the relationships that he cultivated that shines through in his art.

A fun part of what Ted shares is that he didn't truly begin painting regularly until he was in his 50s. A common excuse I hear from people, and have occasionally thought myself, regarding pursuing a dreams is, "I'm too old." Ted's stories and his journey are truly inspiring and a beautiful reminder that you aren't too old to pursue your dreams.

We talked about several books in our conversation. I had just finished reading, Neither Wolf Nor Dog, by Kent Nerburn. I really enjoyed the reflections on connecting to the Earth and Spirit. It was enlightening to hear reflections on cultural differences and be reminded of how we can expand our understanding of history if we take the time to listen to people that share views and experiences different than our own.

The book about Mustangs that Ted mentioned he is re-reading is, Wild Horse Country: The History, Myth, and Future of the Mustang, by David Phillips. He is currently reading about Kit Carson.

Pamela Pack fell in love with rock climbing during her first experience. You can imagine the disappointment when she was told by a doctor that she would never climb again. This disappointment led her to engage with her practice in a new way.

Pamela's practice of rock climbing has continued to evolve over the years. She pursues some of the most challenging climbs in the world and is turning to offer what she has learned through clinics, her writing and a podcast that is being born about the history of climbing in the desert.

I will update the show notes to include a link to her podcast once she shares her first episode.

A brief episode with reflections on the practice of hosting a podcast. Imperfectly edited to support the momentum of re-starting.

Julia is a landscape and cloud artist. Her art can be viewed on her website www.juliabuckwalter.com

She has always felt drawn to the desert and in this episode, Julia shares two of her favorite childhood books that inspired her interest in art, Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney and Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain by Verna Aardema. I love that Julia shares that books were at the beginning of her journey, as it something she remains passionate about today, both reading and sharing books.

Julia’s story is a colorful ride of practice and increased commitment to her practice and personal rituals.
