   in the quiet of the am, I can hear the neighbors’ chickens. My cat, on the windowsill, is going crazy! – yeah, as though she would know what to do if she came face to face with a chicken! she’s a darling, but she’s a house cat. I think she’d run! – maybe, I think I’d hope she’d run!

   It’s later than I planned to get on – sorry! Smoky, this is perfection; the Brown Rhodo, Tanzanite, and Ruby quartz capture the Sandia’s changing attitude to a tee!!! Haven’t see them in so long…

   no worries – better later than not at all. I’m home today ‘catching up on stuff’ – or that’s the excuse I gave my better half , so, I’ve had time to play on the computer. a girl who can appreciate my beloved Sandias – feels good! OK, politically incorrect here – you familiar with parliament cigs? I tell friends and coworkers that the sky is the color blue on Parliaments – nobody believes me. I know you know what I’m talking about though.

   Oh – you gotta go, then! Is there a friend or close relative whose company you’d enjoy (or be able to tolerate) for a short stay? That could settle some of your wanderlust – and give you a fresh perspective maybe. Or just go by yourself -that’s hard for me to imagine with panic disorder, but I know most people do those things w/o even thinking! Nice to think about when you’re down and need something to look forward to – even if it’s way out in the future!

   you can read me like a book. yeah – I’ve done this with business trips, too – added on a couple days at my own expense, just to relax, clear my head. I actually have been thinking about it. a lot. I think I may owe it to myself. You know, I never said ‘good bye’ to the area. I had no idea that my last time there would be my last time there. I don’t want to say good bye – as much as …. just experience it again – feels very unfinished, you know?

   “…experience it again…” How well-put Smoky! That’s how I always feel – every time we come back from La I cry and cry- like I’m leaving a place I’ll never see again…Wonder why? I sense, you’re the same way…Maybe we just imagine a different life – one that isn’t driven by anything but loving what is around us and soaking up every single molecule of what the land and surroundings offer! WARNING: Now moving into uncharted emotional territory -the MUSHY ZONE! But that’s what it’s like for me…
