Gorge- ous!

Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness. 

~Ray Bradbury

 

 Words can not describe this Gorge - "ous" place

 

 Scary and impressive at the same time

Looking out over the EXTREME depth and vastness

secretly wishing the strong winds would pick me up

 terrifying and thrilling at the same time
 

Here I vaguely get an idea how incredible this earth is
 this place so powerful

 Most of the time I felt completely lost in New Mexico

 not always knowing where you are

  loosing yourself and your direction
letting go
just.....feels right

 you see what you see 

 

that is so freeing

 wild

and

 mind opening

 

 

Leaving reenergized
I got distracted in the parking lot- fun colored buses that were selling
 ice-cream and coffee.

We got lost trying to find the self sustainable Earthship community.
Bummer!

 I consoled myself by buying way to much soap from
 Blue feather soap co.

Lucky me, sweet Gillian (soap maker) lives in the Earthship community
 told us all about it and her life there
so at least I heard about it.
Its been a dream of mine to live there
 (not popular with my kids)

Taking the high road south to Santa Fe

 I had an appointment with Georgia and did not want to be late!

 This landscape

 Glorious

 I knew this special place would resonate in my heart

...and then an unexpected find.

STOP!!!!!

 This historic beauty was built 1776

 you can really see the straw and mud application

 Parts of New Mexico are very peaceful
there is a serenity in the landscape
 and I can understand why people are very spiritual here

 I think I found my house :)

Not bad when you have an amazing view like this down the street.

 Did I mention

Glorious!

 

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.
