It's been a while

A bit over two years in fact, since I last spent some time at City of Rocks State Park. I miss it - it's one of my favorite New Mexico State Parks. I'll be heading up there for a few days once my rent runs out here at the end of the month.

I can hardly wait to see if I can get some better pictures of the rocks than I got on my earlier visits. Meanwhile I'll put up a few old ones here.

Others Choose the Path of Healing

The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
