Where do we go from here?
Highway 64 headed east toward Taos
Any way you slice it, this week in America has been profound and distressing on almost every level. The sure sign of malaise is when comedians have trouble talking about the news. Certainly, George Carlin would have been able to do it. In fact, he may be whispering in our ears from another world. We fear for not only the outcomes of the political conventions, but for the people of Cleveland and Philadelphia. When you have screamed at whatever screen you are watching, and your guts have been in washing machine mode because of the news, beauty is a persistent and calming force. Whether it is nature's perfection - the egg, a butterfly, or a coyote puppy exploring the flowers, discovering the simple and complex beauty in the world around us is like a sip of fresh water for the soul.
