While I'm convinced that masculine and feminine essences do indeed exist, I believe the attempt to ascribe definable qualities to each of these is an ongoing, never-finished task that requires infinite listening, constant dialogue with others, and a continual willingness to alter one's conclusions. Although I agree with the critics that the task is challenging, I do not believe that the difficulty of the endeavor justifies abandoning it. Rather, it is the very fluid and unfinished nature of the task that is its chief allure!

backcountry campsite and rendered ethereal by forest fire smoke drifting
in from the Northwest; (Middle) Alpine Bog Laurel (pink),
Potentilla (yellow) and American Bistort (white), with The Grand Teton
basking in morning light; (Bottom) Moss Campion, Alpine Daisies
and Mount Woodring from Paintbrush Divide; All photos were taken in
Grand Teton National Park, WY, July 3-4, 2015
