Summary of Craig Childs's Tracing Time EPUB

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I used to come out to Colorado to hike and explore, but in the year of the pandemic I mostly stayed close to home. I moved back to this part of Colorado as a single father with two kids, and I was excited to see some rock art.

#2 I would go to the petroglyphs every season, snow-swept and rippled in summer heat. I would take my joys and sadnesses to them, or talk about the weather with them. I would sit on a nearby boulder and say nothing, letting the day come and go.

#3 The way a Hopi person thinks of knowledge is different from how I think of the word. It is about truly knowing something and comprehending it, something you can do with esoteric knowledge that the Hopi do not publicly share.

#4 The floating ghostmen were not ordinary people. They were made of pure spirit, and they appeared to be rising. They were from the Desert Archaic age, predating Basketmaker culture by another thousand years or more.
