In this episode of Cowboy Cantos, Jason Curtman shares an original Western poem about perspective, pride, and the long memory of the land.
Ol’ Jake is ridin’ fence on a hot day when a run-in with a cactus turns into something unexpected — a conversation. What follows is a reminder that the West has seen more than any one cowboy ever will.
Through humor and reflection, The Cactus Witness explores:
* How quickly tempers flare
* How small we can seem against history
* And how the land often outlasts the people passing through it
Sometimes wisdom doesn’t come from another rider.Sometimes it’s rooted deep in desert sand.
