essences of cloud and stone
mingling on my tongue

    Rugged and beautiful – a building originally built to last has not lasted.Yet the hint of past life is what we imagine…a peaceful place of history…

    Hey! We were just there two weeks ago! You had to have driven by my house (well, more or less). Hope you had a great trip and don’t you just love that site? I do. I imagine that field covered in teepees and full of activity.

    Ancient and neglected but still it retains that special sweetness. How sweet MMT!

    This really speaks to me! I lived in New Mexico from the time I was four years old until I was ten. I remember visiting an old pueblo. It was an incredible experience.

    This instantly reminded me of my recent visit to some forts and palaces in Rajasthan, India.
    Your words and photo made for perfect visualization.
