But our friends back live an life under the weight and awareness of times; a place we are slowly escaping; a world growing fainter by the hour and the mile.”Day 13: “It feels again that we are departing who we were, moving on in to the people we can be, hopefully, people who have some kind of answers, some kind of thing to believe that makes sense of beauty, of love. A thing that would make clear the red glow against Paul’s face, the red glow that seems to be coming off the system.… ‘Do you see the engine motor light is lit, bud?’ I ask.…”Day 83: “I take a seat in the vehicle, looking forward to her to turn out when I notice a window in one of the classrooms open up, and a back pack comes falling out, spilling a few literature onto the backyard. After the back pack comes Elida, dropping atop the load up and laying low, peeking back to the window to see if the instructor found. She gathers her literature, reaches in to the school room and closes the window, then runs toward the vehicle as if this were a prison chance.”As you read Through Painted Deserts, you’ll soon realize this is not only one man’s consideration of finding light, God, and beauty on the open up road.
