A Grande Breakfast, Rio Grande River, Elephant Butte NM, April 1, 2012
Turned on
The Rio Grande River was turned on for the summer a couple weeks ago; spring is in the air. It's been in the 80's here the past week. Trees are leafing out and the beaver and cormorants are busy making their livings along the river.

Growing up... it never stops
I am enjoying finally growing up, but guess what, boys and girls? It NEVER STOPS!!! For the record, there is no point where everything is "solved" and fine and enlightened and fixed in perpetual harmony and light. Oh, for a while, certainly. For years at a time, even. But soon you reach the next divide, hoho, and then it's grow or die a living death. The lucky ones keep struggling and discovering, challenging themselves, no matter how old they are. Don't believe anything else. NONE OF THIS IS LIKE IT SEEMS.
