“You are on sacred land.”
One friend said that to another friend who is at Ghost Ranch.
“You are on sacred land.”
I have said that to friends who are at Ghost Ranch.
“We are on sacred land.”
I have said that when I have been at Ghost Ranch.
All those statements are true. And so is this one:
“All land is sacred.”
Every place.
All called good.
Every acre.
All entrusted to our care.
Every bit.
All land is sacred.
All ground holy,

atop the mesa,
down the arroyo.
Places to go,
things to see,
not here,
but yonder.

XL and XS.
It does refer to them as abbr
which I assume is the abbreviation
for abbreviation.
The picture really doesn’t get there,
but the idea is that
people of all sizes –
XL and XS
and between and beyond –
