Nowhere is the sentiment of the American Dream stronger than in the West. Its sprawling prairies, towering mountains, and large skies invite musings of something far beyond man. It’s god’s country, beautiful, with a tamed sublime. The West has long since been ravaged, ripped, and restrained, yet it is still “free”. These contradictions have only heightened today, with greater economic inequality and a regressive culture. We no longer live in the blind optimism of post-war America, but rather a begrudging cynicism to our ailments. The silence of the West still screams the same ballad as before, romanticizing its inherent loneliness and ironies, yet I still long for its imagined innocence.
