An excursion........

While I could have been packing up the last bit of flotsam to move my 'place'......

I decided to travel with dear ones
for a change 
of pace...

This past weekend brought me to the far eastern plains of New Mexico and the cities of 

for an amazing conference of a very few esteemed historians and place keepers
who put together a wonderful selection of thoughtful essays on the daunting task 
of  preserving


as I sat
and absorbed
this conference,
 the land,
it's historic significance, 
and
observed
blatant social, political, ecologic and funding concerns...

frankly.....
my head was spinning slowly...

As my fellows were impassioned with saving valuable historic sites.... 

I remained

 enchanted with 








decay

Gran Quivira ruins..............










It is difficult to wrap one's head around the fact that this area, where I now reside, was near the major trading route from Mexico City to Santa Fe, el Camino Real, in the 17th Century......

I remain..........

a respectful student....

In awe of this beauty and opportunity.....to 

experience this amazing place.....
