New Blog: Dec 2009

Well... I will always recall delightedly that my da's family in Wales would typically start a sentence with these well-worn and polished sounds: "well..." A bit like another friend who recently passed away into the next world going and answering by the English sounding name of Larry Miller. An archivist and part-time blacksmith at the Rancho de las Golandrinas living history museum up near to the racecourse near Santa Fe called The Downs! Both had the facility to astonish with these opening words. I am fast come from the Flying Star restaurant (at the end of the universe) on Route 66/Cental Avenue having consumed heartily a breakfast bought by the young Shean White a friend from church whose wife is a 'dula'. A trade off for a CD I gave to him earlier at the Aquinas Newman Craft Fair in November when the parent and adults group were also having a meeting of some religious formation character about them. Todays event was a meeting with Angie King, prospective daughter to Tanya, and registered professional nutritionist who was telling me about the 30 'dirty' and 15 'clean' words in the vocabulary of healing. Mainly because of the polluting of the world's oceans and waters by unscrupulous big businesses. Also Angie has decided against using make-up also a hazardous waste producer and pollutant chemically and medium in the world's atmosphere. Also I record the passing of Zeke Cortez whose life biography I have been recording now for almist 13 years not quite non-stop but close and that too happened in August as well.

I have to pause in thinking about these two people in my life who have affected the way I look at time spent here in the southwest usa and historical interest which grew out of these friendships in New Mexico. Comparing my own life makes little sense in this light except to continue to write and prepare for grace or ignomy...

New Year is approaching fast and soon will be past and also a 'history'.
