I've moved this body and this soul, though my heart is sometimes still dancing in Texas, I'm delighted for the days ahead  - I've gone north and I've gone west. Denver is home (again)!


Denver has exploded since I left at the turn of the new year in 2011.  Cranes are a typical view in the skyline - people are buzzing down streets as if they live there, oh wait, they do. The urban landscape is filling in, I see less surface parking, I see more buildings hugging the edge, I see more cars navigating the thin roads, I see that light rail running to DIA without any passengers being pulled along...dang it. I see less desolate land, I see more parents with buggies. Long walks will ensue. 




+ side note - after taking a look at this blogbaby and the notes and jots i've submitted to the screen i realized i was able to venture to some of the places on my list - exciting! specifically: vancouver, b.c. / the grand canyon / fountainbleu, fr / potrero chico, mx / the denver public library / the notable and chaotic mexico city / big bend national park / marfa, tx / & the newly world heritage sited san antonio missions* - - - it's been years of trotting and i'm grateful for the experiences which have helped shape who i am outwardly and who i am inwardly.

my compassion has grown 
my awareness is heightened 
my sensitivity towards each man's shoes is tuned
my hope is that my curiosity and observations always stay a float. perhaps a new list is in order.

The Lightning Fields_07 2015



I launch my bark on the unknown waters of this year, 
with Thee, O Father as my harbour, 
Thee, O Son, at my helm, 
Thee O Holy Spirit, filling my sails. 
Guide me to heaven with my loins girt, 
my lamp burning, 
my ear open to Thy calls, 
my heart full of love, 
my soul free.

Give me They grace to sanctify me, 
Thy comforts to cheer, 
Thy wisdom to teach, 
Thy right hand to guide, 
Thy counsel to instruct, 
Thy law to judge, 
Thy presence to stabilize. 
May Thy fear by my awe, 

Thy triumphs my joy.

Richard Long // Sea Lava Circles //Iceland // 1988


This work by British artist Richard Long is on loan from the Judd Foundation and was installed by Donald Judd at the Chinati Foundation on a concrete platform formerly used as a tennis court. The work was made in 1988 from volcanic rock collected by the artist in Iceland. It contains three equally spaced concentric circles of stones, each stone touching the next, with the largest circle measuring 13'7" in diameter.

Some even argue that Prada Marfa is a trap set by aliens meant to attract potential abductees. Visitors beware

There's a saying in Chinese: 有钱没钱回家过年, or which roughly translates to "Rich or poor, go home for the new year."
