MKL and I have been off the grid, spending three blissful days at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs in northern New Mexico. It has taken me some time to grow to love New Mexico, and some of the landscape is still too stark for me to feel it in my soul, but the sky is a clear blue that I have never seen anywhere else, the quality of light is magical, and the earth has little to hide. Ojo Caliente was historic, lovely, and soothing. They had six soaking pools, and each had its own energy. I”ll share more pictures from our trip this week.
Ojo Caliente, New Mexico.
Quote of the day: “Even today the most jaded city dweller can be unexpectedly moved upon encountering a clear night sky studded with thousands of twinkling stars. When it happens to me after all these years it still takes my breath away.” — Carl Sagan
Daily gratitudes:
Birds flying motionless on air currents
The trees in the yard whipping in the pre-storm wind
Being away
Coming home
Cinnamon red dragonflies

The simplicity of the windows with blue pots for each is so exquisite. Enjoy Mexico!

I was in New Mexico for a convention when I was in college. I believe that is the place I would want to go if I could give up my plains.

It has a curious pull, doesn’t it Lucinda? And such interesting energy.

So Does That Mean I'm Southern
Love the picture and I am looking forward to more of the same.
