Going to go hunt for extra henna and some groceries for the salad... Inshallah... Need a chopping knife too... Kinda didn't want to be all "terrorist"-y and bring a knife on the road...

Record this: 10:20pm and the men are going to bed while the women are still up, freezing, waiting for the smoke in our cabin to clear after metalwing decided to play caveman and set a fire in our room.

Thank you boys!

Palo Duro Canyon

We’ll look back through
this lens of azure vast
panning majestic grace
where fragile layers embedded
between ancient formations
are carved out ruins
exposed by wind and time.
How Autumn’s quilt laid out
surprises of golds,
burnished leaves
beginning their turn
mixing with red clay swatch
cut-outs of the canyon floor
spotted here and there
by gnarly mesquite poised
near boulders and ground brush.
Where echo sounds the distance
realizing silence lives to thrive here
compelling one into its soothe
knowing lonely calm has found a home to heal.
If ever there was comfort in the dark
it is here under this canopy of still.
Glimmering stars, winking and blinking
from their height. Whispers of breeze
teasing around the chilly huddles
wrapped in their blankets
in awe of this wonder transition.
We will look back and remember sweet.

As for me, I will recall how my heart
filled with such love as the realization
of past conversations etched
on an invisible thread came alive,
resounding deeply of laughter, faces
warmth, connected friendship.
How time and space bridged a chasm
needing, hope, voice where once only silence.
That, unconditional was possible,
That the reality of survival and who we are,
what we say to each other cannot be faked.
I saw you with my own eyes.
Love,
