An Ocean for New Mexico

Reid State Park, Maine

Stood there half an hour, hardly comprehending

Gaze on this, ye dry ones, and despair! There’s plenty of water on the planet, just not in the Rio Grande or falling from the skies upon the land I love. What you see here is the Atlantic Ocean just off Reid State Park near Georgetown, Maine. I had to get away from crushing family vibes and psychic horror yesterday, and this is where I went. Not half bad, muchachos!

Twenty-four hours from now, I’ll be on my way to Baltimore and then back to the frigging desert. Pray for rain and that my sweetie finds her way to Albuquerque, so I don’t have to hitchhike back to Taos.

    Beautiful! Best of both things I love, pine trees and the ocean together!
