a piece of cardboard.  pics glued.    it has traveled.    20 something,  maybe even 30…probably….30,   years.   the pics are from 3 beautiful small publications.      when I lived in El Cerro Mission or Los Lunas  and would drive to Albuquerque….at first for work and then later,  to the Food Co~op     i'd stop at the Airport…run in,   the information desk in Main Lobby   a shelf behind with pamphlets etc for visitors AND  these little    books.   like the size of paper back books,   Taos,  Santa Fe and Albuquerque  ART    Galleries.    Incredible pics.   I wish I would have kept one.  Alas.   But I have this.    to talk to me today about how long it's been since the black/white/black/white/black/white   has been in my life of Art.    that,   rising from somewhere as a child that I can't remember but know was there….those volumes of the Lands and People.   in them.   somewhere.

    The memories and emotions that pour forth onto this days post, the glimpses of a past story bringing much meaning to this piece of cardboard glued full of a time in your life! I love this post, how without it, anyone could not know, but with these words can now know in depth so much more of who you are.
