painted rock 1-4197

This unheralded piece of roadside art, a Native American looking to the heavens, is always compelling, though I have passed it many a time. It’s a striking visual eulogy for both a people and a way of life, and invites further reflection on the arc of both shared and private history, bringing us, perhaps, to a measure of the present moment: how IS my life going? Any changes needed? Artist(s) unknown – even the Town Clerk had no idea.
