  • Reminder of a Friendship

    Today was unexpectedly busy. My companion had his scheduled physical therapy, which visibly has truly improved his condition and posture. After a quick stop at the Java Joe’s on Rodeo Road, in the car on our way home I decided that once we get home I’d go for my regular 5K run which I usually do on Sunday morning.

    A cold shower after returning from my run, my companion expressed his desire of having pasta and red wine for dinner. He didn’t think of that I still have my leftover curry in the fridge, but that’s fine by me as it won’t go bad that fast.

    While waiting for the pot of water to boil, my eyes landed on these two handmade cloth stars. Immediately I was reminded that I still owed a FaceTime call with the friend who made and gifted them to us. This friend of ours has been going through some tough times recently. He sent me updates with pictures via text messages while I was still in Taiwan, and I’ve promised him that we’d talk soon once I’m back in Santa Fe.

    “I’ll contact him first thing in the morning tomorrow.“ I told myself with my eyes staring at the bubbling water.

  • The Ghost Buffalo

    I knew about its existence even before we moved here. Today I thought it’s time to make a visit.

    The Ghost Buffalo from the Adobe Buffalo Project by artist Karen Windchild was completed in October 2017. The buffalo symbolizes the North on the Native American sacred medicine wheel: honoring the ancestors, spiritual wisdom and physical strength, and providing for the community. *

  • Hang on to the Past

    Not sure why, but the title came to my mind when I looked at this image.

    It caught my attention the moment I saw it on my walk today. I’ve been there countless times but it wasn’t there before..
