Re: prayers would be much appreciated

ah, you have an appreciation for the desert I've never learned. I'm a
mountain & forest girl myself. Fortunately, I married a mountain & forest
guy. I understand the peace you find in the dessert as that is what we find
in the out in the mountains, especially mildly isolated camping in our tent.
(I still like flush toilets & access to showers, but not RVs all over the
place!) Even photos bring some of that peace home to me - that's probably
why I've belonged to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for over
20 years, since I lived in Asheville. We're thinking now that retirement
will probably be in the Boone, NC area..........

Well Johnie is an asset (definitely Arizona though-he lives in Oracle
right outside of Tuscon) but it is more than that....I love open
spaces and spectacular beauty. I love living in a place where I own
the night sky-oh I forgot-the coyotes and i own the night sky! I love
walking out my door in the morning and knowing that the land I will
soon be seeing is not subtle. It just insists in a way know only to
toddlers and red rock mountains that I look at IT. I love the fact
that the desert smells of sage and rain and that every single cycle is
in my face-sunset, sunrise, lunar waxing and waining, solstices and
equinoxes. I never for one minute forget the Mother and Father-the
earth and the sky. I love paying tribute to the earth-there is such a
mutual respect that comes when your land can take your life during the
summer months if you do not pay attention and I always pay
attention....I love watching the lightening come streaking across the
sky for miles and miles and then watching the clouds open up and just
pour...I love that in two hours it will be sunny again....mostly I
love night, something central coast Californians know nothing about.
It is cold for us at night-the rare night when it is warm is just
stunning....I love counting shooting stars....I love the drama that
can only come in the desert. I love that I not only write poetry in
the desert but I almost speak poetry. I love that the spirits of the
old ones still live there. It is a photographer's dream, a writer's
muse and a dreamer's song....
