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.

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.

G is for Grazing
Burros graze.
It is what burros do.
Well, one thing burros do.
They graze well
and they have an incredible view
when they lift their heads.

F is for flag
The flag pole stands
outside the casitas:
once used to house guests
(I have stayed there),
now home each summer to
the college staff.
Other years I remember not
what, if anything, flew there,
but in the summer of 2011
this flag proudly waved
in the warm breezes
that caress Ghost Ranch.

E is for Electricity
Electrical lines cross the ranch
to bring the electricity that
affords light to read at night;
recharges batteries;
works computers;
and powers coffee makers.

D is for Diversity
It comes in many forms at Ghost Ranch:
opportunities,
people,
classes,
vistas,
sometimes even the trees
and the moon
reflect the diversity
God creates.
