so…it's done for this year. And i'm Glad i did it. There WERE conversations today, but with local people, and this was good. People i will see again and again, over time.
Danielle wants to keep the Cloths for a while which was nice too…she likes them, wants them there. I am good with that but also will welcome them "home".
My favorite part of the day was going to the Printing Shop. I arrived just as she was working with a "challenged" woman in printing a Mother's Day greeting. I watched the whole process and the presses they have, over 100 years old…just magnificant. Sometime i'll go back and take pics. I asked and she did sell me some really great cut paper…paper she uses for making small blank books, i love it.
and i took the next pics of various houses but not so much, people were home, as in next door and it didn't feel right, but some and this is Magdalena. Old buildings, made to serve purpose. I don't think any NEW construction has occured there since the 40's maybe. And as it is in New Mex, a fine place right next door to a not so fine place. There are no socio~economic neighborhoods, all is mended or could be if deemed necessary. it's quilt like.
the cross streets of the Main street always go like this. Maybe 3 "city" blocks, 4 but like this. They have tree names. elm pine oak. Anglo names, funny……
These next pics don't do what i'd hoped…on the way "down", the color of that horizon was UnReal
there is hardly a perceptible difference in these pics, but when moving Through, Past, it was so much There I cannot say my love for this land. There is a place just beyond this where there is a crack in the Earth and a canyon is Right There, just off the side of the road. I was wanting to pull over there, take a pic of it, to show you how it is here, how it looks like something but is many things. But there was a truck just behind me and i couldn't slow down. It's all down hill and the momentum pushes.
