Time to get a move on

The New Mexico State Park system allows one to stay a maximum of 21 days at a time. My 21 days are up so today I moved over to Leasburg Dam State Park north of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande River for a while.

Playing and Learning and Loving

..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
