More Gorge, Less Mess

Rio Pueblo gorge

Looking south toward the Rio Grande from the Rio Pueblo gorge

The vantage point above is very close to where we live. Yes, I know you’ve seen this view. I can reach it by driving less than fifteen minutes and walking briskly for ten minutes more, and every time, I’m simply stunned. So what, though, in the larger scheme of things? We have to leave our old adobe rental. No one is pushing except the two of us—it’s both a physical and metaphysical necessity—but this morning, I seem not to be able to figure out how. Perhaps it’s best to not even try the thing directly but simply live, and write what must not be forgotten. One always has a choice, you know: believe or not believe! So here we are, right now.
