#tku for the last post, like the previous ones, I've enjoyed all of them, I am a faithful reader and I love how you share your feelings. I'll not try to "connect" why, let me just say that you are living what we are living out here in the world and you are putting it into words - many cannot. I appreciate your art, your grief, your travels, your photographs, your wisdom, - there are so many other topics in your posts that I appreciate, as do many readers I'm sure. Don't worry about where we are, what we think, how many read these posts ... They reach people in these turrrrrrible stages of living the human experience. You give "meaning" to what we're thinking, b/c you are out there living the harsh reality of this grieving process with such - stability, openness, humility, growth-mindset, survivorabiliity, peace, love, and respect .... there are so many other ways to describe this process. #TKU for sharing. Creepy response, I get it, but I appreciate your willingness to combine: insight, art, grief, wisdom, meaning, long-suffering, and the American West! \
Wow. What an amazing comment. I'm stunned & humbled. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means. Thank you also for sticking with me for so long. I want you and everyone else to know that the days of scarce, sporadic posts are all but done. Things are improving rapidly with me and I'm anxious to prove it.
Another great post. Maybe Colorado is your next home? After the winter or now before the snows set in? Salida? Ouray? No, vibe is too wierd. Or, maybe not. But they get LOTS of snow. Montrose has everything a person needs, but is just another town. Durango? Right on the edge of the wilderness and a great honey store.
Glad you liked it! Not moving to CO though. NM has soul. As the late, great Bill Whaley said [see my About page]:
“You're one of the few who arrived and immediately experienced the spiritual imagination of the place and appreciated it in an articulate and instinctive way. What intrigues me is how many people move here and are tone deaf. I can't figure out why they are here since they might as well live in Colorado: beautiful but soulless...the chthonic spirits are absent. ‘Course sometimes a man needs relief from the resonating spirits. They can drive you mad.”
But I'll still be happy driving up there for a thrill!

Beautiful, John. Just beautiful.
