I was always a seeker.
I ran after the next adventure. And the next.
But I ultimately found the greatest exploration to be of that which was always with me.
And no place has felt more expansive, and simultaneously exposing, than the desert.
I believe we are immeasurable.
I believe we are connected.
I believe we are remembering.
And Rico is my co-pilot.
I am Lindsay Rider
