Show have been anything but at present the color scheme does not vary. Its red mud Around The Hai by Doris Valle Today it is difficult to find the light touch. I am sure that I have, many times, quoted: No man is an Island, complete unto himself, but each is part of the whole .... And so today as I write I am in spirit with a friend in the second floor waiting room at Farming-to- n Hospital. My friend waits while her husband - a good and valuable man -undergoes surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain.

I really need to walk on Cedar Mesa right now. Thats always my escape when the dark clouds of pain and sorrow hover. But from my window I can see the snow lying heavily on my magic land.

The original paint job on the vehicles might from tire to top. At least many of our local people have been able to make their way out.

Im told anyone in trouble is supposed to put out a red flag but I dont understand how the distressed ones know to do so. We had a wet Spring last year and the wild flowers were wondrous to behold. I wonder if all this snow and rain will bring forth another miracle. Thats a good thought to hold today. The wild flowers have their brief moment of glory and then fade and fall, but they are not gone. They always bloom again. And again. I have been reading an article by Alice Hunt sent to me by Geologist Bob Lauth from Durango. When I see traces of the lives of the Anasazis on the Mesa I am in touch with the eternal cycle and Hunt offers a greater expanse of time for me to consider.
