New Mexico



What more can one say after beholding such beauty, such wonder? I am falling in love again and again with the high desert the more I explore the surrounding country-land. It has a way of creepin' up and cannot be fully appreciated until experienced first hand...that's for certain!!
And I reminisce of the time spent in the Gila Wilderness as I sit amidst a concrete jungle... Sorry, no hot springs here. 
New York City hums outside my window; the closest thing to wilderness out here is perhaps a feral street cat or a squirrel who's only world exists within the confines of a man-made park. 
Which makes me wonder: How did the squirrels get to NYC? Were there turf wars in the beginning? Did their ancestors stay exclusively in the same park as they themselves have? And if so, what kind of inbreeding and/or exclusive gene pool(s) are we dealing with?!?
Hmmm... 

...And so my journey unfolds in every moment. I shall keep ramblin' on with longing in my heart....

Time Enough


It's been a long time coming, it's gonna be a long time gone....

Let Life Move You

it seems the people who change your life the most dramatically are the ones that don't end up staying around... in and out, a mere second, maybe two, and suddenly you see life in a whole new light. my perspective has been blessed evermore by two chance strangers... 
thank you

Dwellings of my Heart

The natural formation of the rock is simply breathtaking to behold. 
This isn't the first time I've seen something like this, but its message is clearer than ever: Nature as God; a People One with the Land. Its beauty and ever-giving gifts were respected and honored by the communities who lived here once upon a time. This cliff dwelling was built within a natural, pre-existing structure and mostly, if not only, with materials found nearby. This is the original sustainability. This is the original truth. 
Where have we gone and why?  What can we learn from the past?
 This is the model and the roots our souls so desperately seek. A longing for a connection with Each Other,
 the Earth, the Ether,
the Life Force, 
the Consciousness
of One. 

A Dawn is Near.
