The pace slows,
shadows lengthen,
the moon rises,
the quiet speaks.

P is for Peace
The 2011 college staff flew this flag;
it appeared in a different picture
from an earlier post.
That post focused on the flag;
this one looks at the flag’s message –
a message for this evening
as we await
tomorrow’s celebration
of the birth of the
Prince of Peace.

O is for Orange
The sun plays on the sky
to create color.
The colors vary
with the day,
the time,
the clouds,
and other factors.
The color of
this time and
this day
was
orange.

M is for Moisture
Water is precious,
essential for life.
It is particularly precious in the high desert.

L is for Labyrinth
For some it serves as a spiritual discipline;
for some it provides nurture;
for some a place of reflection and inspiration.
Some find healing here,
some hope,
some grace.
During the summer of 2011,
filled in holes,
trimmed weeds,
and repaired the path
for the Ghost Ranch
labyrinth.

K is for Kitchen Mesa
One view barely does Kitchen Mesa justice,
but only one image per post.

I is for Irrigation
Every summer at Ghost Ranch
the message comes loud and clear:
“Drink not from the irrigation system.”
I wonder if that results from
experimentation
and
experience?

H is for Hiking
Chimney Rock Trail
offers one of many
hiking possibilities at Ghost Ranch.
In the summer of 2011,
the Service Corps
repaired and repainted the
trail head sign.
