# SCOTOMAVILLE 01.15 - Curves REFLECTION

Outside Truth or Consequences at Elephant Butte, Daniel reflects on the Curves episode after the pandemic years. "Life is what happens between our plans and most journeys are full of curves." Watching his older video is the scotoma method doing its work. Behind it are the frustrations of the Pacific Northwest no longer fitting and flies landing on his face while he draws, which Daniel calls “Self-observation that I believe will help some of you on your own journey.”
