New Mexico's Finest

this month in santa fe has been full.

but much of it could be summed up to life on the portal, in fact the very place i write this from. gaea is looking up at me with a half ass little sliver of an eye and summer is finishing her book beside me. dad is inside watching news. it has been the four of us bunched up together.

we have been surrounded by many minds this month. Here is what they have given or shown me:

kely (intrigue and numerology),

laura (energy and silliness),

dad (positive vibes and cheeriness),

christopher (good memories, good trekking),

sharon (bright mind, sweetness),

aysha (sincerity, generosity),

david (passion, political history),

ted (wisdom, inspiration),

barbara (graciousness, good gardening tips),

michael (depth, creativity),

tamara (sweetness, openess),

siena (humor and acute intelligence),

john (playfullness, sarcasm),

brandy (dedication, my morning tea),

ruby (smiles, patience),

Paul (silence, fresh outlook),

Tina (funny!, light heartedness),

Cristina (fun, down to earthness),

Judith (fervor, inspiration)

Gaea (calm, wisdom),

Paux Paux (unending authentic love, patience)

and check out what we have been putting in our tummies (all vegan and made in roseman's bad ass kitchen!):

enchiladas with sour cream/spinach sauce,

adzuki beans and rice (cooking rice at altitude is a bitch),

quinuo,

salads every day,

mac n, cheese,

pizza,

roasted asparagus,

and so much more but my mind is failing me now. we also cheated for Ted's fantastic 80th party with sour cream, cheese, and chocolate cake. On Dad's birthday we cheated with

i have stood in the same position for four hours every morning for the past two weeks and taken in yet a vast section of the universe in that time, Ted Flicker's mind and life. From stories of ancient Hollywood to the politics of love. I am posing as Mary, the "favored one" of God, to whome a special son I am to bear. Who ever heard of a naked mary!? not i...but there i have been all the while.

this trip, and really since the oils pill happened when we were still in new orleans, has brought me closer to the news for better or worse. it all seems so armaggeden! its atrocious but it has made me look up out of my own life more and be concerned. it has inspired both summer and i in to action. after south america we will work on a clean up crew. i have, i think, struck a balance with the whole news bullshit. every day became too much. i was getting to cynical and too jaded and teary-faced. now, once a week i catch up and listen to MPR in between. one word sums up what the news is speaking to me: REVOLUTION!!!
