September 21 is the International Day of Peace. Last May I attended a meeting at the United Nations looking at how to bring awareness and celebration of this day to as many groups around the world as possible. There were many people there representing amazing worldwide NGO’s. Here is the website listing events around the world where people will gather to celebrate peace on Sunday, September 21.
I decided to make a video about the ideal of peace. My friend, Tony Woodroffe, who is equally concerned about peace, was involved with the production of a CD by the vocalist, Derek Stroh. Derek has done a beautiful cover of John Lennon’s Imagine. Click here to see/listen to “Just for One Day … Imagine Peace.”
Now I invite you to visit my blog oops… http://www.liveinfullbloom.blogspot.com/ and read my challenging thoughts on the Paradox of Peace. I’ve learned that thinking deeply about peace is not a peaceful activity. In fact, I found it a disturbing activity, so be warned. Yes, I really am warning you and encouraging you to take on the challenges of bring peace into your consciousness.
The video on peace is sweet and hopeful, my blog on peace is not. In our current times of violence in the world and in our economies, we must consider peace… in our souls and in our relationships.
I wish you a peaceful Fall.
Lynn
PS. If you are needing support in finding peace in your soul, your relationships, your work or your life, visit my website www.lynnjericho.com and call me (201-333-9106). I am always available for a consultation to discuss the benefits of a number of counseling sessions.
Wow! I almost forgot Peace Day, well I did, it was an hour ago! So why stop peaceful thoughts now! Youtube had a lot of interesting videos. I hope one billion people did come together in prayer,hope, and music. So let’s repeat it and gather another a million or billion people together with thoughts of peace. Om.

This has become a vital, exciting, and savvy group! I may not be able to make the workshops, so the rest of you can get a headstart on me! Wish they’d create an ebook for me. I barely get around to reading the ones I’ve collected. How about you?
Today, a lady called me from California to encourage me to volunteer for Obama this Tuesday and Thursday at 6PM. They are working toward getting 18,000 volunteers out on those days. I think it would be great fun to pack those offices. Come join the work party or send food. In Santa Fe they would be overwhelmed to see so many Moveon folks. Send friends. Let’s really give the campaign a boost big time. See you there. Ditto for other communities.

3D Scanning for Historic & Cultural Studies
A 3D scan of the Palace of the Governors
Three-dimensions are the rage in this fall’s movie line-up. They’re also increasingly important in historical, archeological and paleontological research, as we’ve seen in three prior blenders at Santa Fe Complex. We continue our series on Stereo-Computational Photography with an in-depth look at 3D laser scanning in modern research. Our look includes demonstration courtesy of Faro Technologies, a global leader in 3D scanning technology, and discussions on the use of 3D scanning for preservation. The blender will continue on Wednesday with follow-up work at the Fuller Lodge in Los Alamos and the ArtsLab at UNM. The blender begins at 6:00 at Santa Fe Complex, 632 Agua Fria St. (Parking via Romero Street.) A $5.00 donation is encouraged.
Ralph Chapman (formerly of the Smithsonian and the Idaho Virtualization Laboratories) will introduce the speakers and say a few words about his own use of laser scanning in paleontology and virtualization of artifacts. Wednesday night’s speakers include:
Paul Oberle of FARO Technologies who will demonstrate the use of their Photon 80/20 scanner including a presentation of a scan he will be taking at the Palace of the Governors earlier in the day.
Tom Pederson, a local GIS expert, will describe his use of laser scanning technology for historical preservation.
Tim Thomas (UNM/HPC) and Catherine Baudoin (Maxwell Museum) will speak briefly about their work in distributed digital archives for virtualized cultural artifacts.
Patrick French will discuss the creation of 3D models of objects from photographs using readily available software.
The 3D work will continue on Thursday in Los Alamos and Albuquerque. From 10:00 am to noon, the discussion will continue at Fuller Lodge with archivists and preservationists from Los Alamos Historic Preservation Societyand the LANL museum
The discussion continues with a demonstration of 3D scanning for staff at the UNM ARTS Lab in Albuquerque followed by a discussion with Kevin Cain, director of InsightDigital, the Institute for the Study and Integration of Graphical Heritage Techniques. Cain is collaborating with UNM and others on the Maya Skies project.

Kathryne Cyman’s show at Weyrich worth seeing
Kathryne Cyman follows a 400-year old Japanese tradition to create translucent porcelain plates, cups and bowls - bringing to the process wonderful glazes made from materials she gathers in the Sandia Mountains and the volcanos on the west mesa. Cyman is being honored by AABA as a Local Treasure and I had the opportunity to visit with her before the opening of the Weyrich show. It is obvious that she is not only a master of the art, but that it is truly a labor of love. She has studied with porcelain masters in Arita, Japan where the process was created more than 400 years ago when a large porcelain clay deposit was discovered near the town of Arita. That clay is now only available to Japanese masters but a porcelain clay body with similar properties has been developed in the US, providing material for students and professionals using the Arita method. Cyman was selected by her professor, Jim Srubek, and Manji Inoue (a National Living Treasure from Japan) to continue Srubek’s Arita program at UNM. This is the only such program that exists in the US. The gallery is open Tue-Fri from 10:30 to 5:30 and Saturdays 11- 5:30. You can also call for an appointment.

Legal Hawks screens at the KiMo
Local production company A+ #1 Productions will be previewing their independent television pilot Legal Hawks on Sept. 21. The year is 1986 and a new television network called Fox is desperate for content. They approach the biggest hair band of the era, Von Holland, to do a weekly concert. Von Holland decides instead to do a legal drama and the series is born. Legal Hawks was written and directed by Josh Klein and stars local actors Isaac Kappy and Ross Kelly. Also appearing are Bill Sterchi, April Fox, Reuben Finkelstein, Shenoah Allen, Mark Chavez, David Kappy and Victor Izay. The pilot was shot by local cinematographer Corey Weintraub and was produced by Isaac Kappy. Students from CNM’s film training program worked alongside industry professionals during the making of the pilot. The screening at the KiMo is free of charge and open to the public, however, the filmmakers will be using the event as a fundraiser for a Farmington fireman whose family is grappling with financial duress after medical complications that led to the loss of their unborn child. Also showing at the screening will be the premiere of Hide, the latest short film from Trifecta Plus Entertainment, directed by Scott Milder, and Time Assassins, a short film directed by Reuben Finkelstein.

Beautiful Losers next Art in Film offering
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.

The sky IS falling. Thousands wil lose their jobs. NEw jobs are not being created fast enough. SOme seniors will lose their retirements, other younger people may no be ABLE to retire. TIMES could get tough.
Wait a minute, times have been tough. Jobs have been disappearing. Ands the stocks is almost as bad as a casino. Even the Casionos have been tighter. In NM a large per cent of women, including single mothers earn $11,000 a year. Reality check folks: those thousands of foreclosures, the thousands of KAtrina victims, those laid off auto workers have been having trouble for years.
Not Bush’s friends, not Blackwater, kill whomever you want folks, not those reaping millions in profit from the war, or the oil barons. They are cleaning up like bandits.
You may add a lot more to either list.
Yet there is hope (yeah right). Really, during depressions more businesses are started. The internet offers new opportunities continually. In New Mexico, many hold three jobs. SO start amking your own lists too. Your job may be next.
(Aside, in the 80’s during Reagan’s regime, stockbrokers and economists were fretful when stocks were going up to the 8000 level. We are still a lot higher than that).
Building WMS (weapons of mass destruction) won’t be our way out. In fact, this war has not created a boon economy. But below, I will start a list of some ideas.
10 Tips for survival.
1) Save cash. Liquidate 20% or more of your portfolio.
2) Plan for what you will do if you lose your job.
3) Create a list of 40 of the most important things in life to you. POst it.
4) Create several streams of incomes.
5)Learn about EBAY: sell stuff.
6) Pay off your credit cards. Also don’t buy so much stuff.
7) Do not buy a new car now. Take savings and pay ahead on your mortgage.
9) Create a prepare to move stategy: One can often downsize.
10) Call me for specific coaching. Comment me here, and I’ll contact you.
This isn’t the most happy list. Frankly, it works. Example: you have a beautiful home. Sell it now, buy a smaller one. You could make a profit and have perhaps a year’s income to stash. Also hopefully a smaller mortgage payment, and less stress.
If you have to buy a new car, start saving now. Buy a recent model preused car. Smaller payments, less insurance costs, easier to pay off if you need to. If you don’t need a new car, start putting money away for your next car.
Three jobs are great when: they aren’t all full time, when they mean if you are laaaid off you still have income, and when you can be the boss at least in one. Let one person in the family work from home. Saves a lot of $$$.
What is most important in your life. HAve a family meeting. Start cutting back on everything else.
Example: Junk food. Tally up your weekly junk food budget. $60.00? Cut it in half. New clothes: $80 per month? Cut it in half. Rental movies: $50/ month? There’s $100/ month toward the mortgage. That could cut off 7 years from some mortgages. Be creative, if I were to show up to your house, I could cut a lot more out of the budget. You see, I have had to do it. It’s amazing where most Americans throw away thousands of dollars a year.
Defiitely start saving six months income now. If you do lose your job, you’ll have time while you create your next job. No one is going to take care of you except you. Hey the economy may get better. The wars may end. You could win the lottery. However if you follow some of these ideas anyway, you’ll have less stress, more fun, and more money when you need it. Watch the Waltons. More in upcoming posts. Please comment.
I was going to keep this short, as I want to expand my dialogues here a bit, and quite frankly, there is so much going on in the country right now. Just ask Steve Terrell at the SantaFeNewMexican.com Steve also has a blog.
Short ha! The March Fourth Marching Band sounds like a great event for kids, especially those who are members of school bands. Scroll down and check it out! Santa Fe Brewing Co BAr and Grill. Well I read further, and these folks can keep us happy no matter what!
Do stop by at the New Santa Fe Railyard and visit our famous FARMERS’ Market. There’s a lot of other fun things there too, and last weekend thousands came for the opening party. Thousands!

CD RELEASE PARTY!
The Sean Healen Band’s new Cd is here at last!
The CD has been produced, recorded, and Co-written with Platinum record producer John Kurzweg,( notable for producing such acts as Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Big Head Todd and The Monsters etc…)
This project came about after John approached Sean after a show
at the Cowgirl in May 2006 and expressed interest in the songs and Sean’s voice. Soon after John was playing lead guitar and singing backing vocals in the band. That eventually lead to full scale production with Healen singing main vocals and playing acoustic guitar, the amazing Matt Deason playing bass, and Kurzweg playing lead guitars, atomospheric guitars, singing backing vocals, and ninety percent of the drums! Also included are guest drummers Jeff Sussman and Andy Kravitz performing on a track each.
Please join us as we celebrate the completion of this amazing CD with a free live performance featuring special guest Barrett Martin! Barrett was the drummer for the Screaming Trees as well as having done projects with R.E.M., Queens of the Stone Age, and Stone Temple Pilots to name a few!

New Grounds celebrates 12th Anniversary
Found in Nature: Etchings by Japanese Masterprinter Ando Shinji opens First Friday. New Grounds is proud to introduce to New Mexico this extremely accomplished artist. Shinji’s botanical etchings merge Western and Japanese sensibilities. His images often emanate out of a soft shadow into subdued light, giving them a sense of wonder, as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty. Shinji will discuss the multi-plate etching process from 6:30-7 pm. The show continues through September 27. The evening’s celebration also marks the 12th Anniversary of New Grounds so there will be music, always great food, and two raffles. Win a $250 gift certificate for art or a class of your choice. Be sure to go next door to Matrix Fine Art for the opening of Dwelling in the Form: Etchings and Paintings by Takahiko Hayashi plus a bonus exhibition of new work by Emily Trovillion and Frank McCulloch. Emily was named one of New Mexico’s top 150 artists in the June/July 2008 Santa Fean Magazine and Frank is one of twelve artists awarded the title of Local Treasure as part of a month-long celebration of the arts in Albuquerque.

Love to walk down Canyon Road and soak in Santa Fe Art scene?
This time of year the Canyon Road dazzles the senses, even before you pay attention to the galleries. A cool breeze may gently rustle your hair and brow. Crowds fluctuate, and you may find yourself practically alone to stroll slowly. Flowers abundantly call your name as an orchestra might invite you travel through the ages. Hark! Before you float away or meet your favorite artist, remind yourself to tend to your bodily hunger, and find a restaurant that will compliment the magic of the day. If fortune bestows favors, you may not even wait long to be seated.
The Compound Restaurant Canyon Road Santa Fe NM
Friends have bestowed upon me many treasures. This week I was invited to have lunch at the Compound Restaurant. I tried to rattle old memories: did I ever eat here before, and I think the closest I got was a “closed sign”. We drove down the shady drive and found convenient parking. I privately marveled at the trees, vines, and landscaping. As we were early, we sat on a bonco in a small courtyard. The plastered adobe was cool. Almost instantly numerous folks arrived. Folks from all over, most dressed finely, and each impatient that le restaurant was not open yet! It opens at noon and it was not noon yet, relax!
The minutes flew by and soon a line of voracious patrons forged ahead creating an eager line. Even the rich and well off seniors can act like schoolyard children when appetites flourish. We were brought to a small table under a niche of colorful saints and their friends. To the right was a large window framing a view of a brick courtyard with tree boughs hanging. TO our left was a much smaller window framing a small skyscape with fluffy white clouds over treetops, matching the all white indoor décor. Pristene.
The menu included many options rarely presented in Santa Fe. We each chose a lobster/crab salad. Small tufts of herb bread and a few crackers were served. At first I thought, hardly enough, how wrong I was. Yes there was plenty of lettuce, but the lobster and crab also created a bountiful portion. So sweet, fresh, and tender. We had a tangerine vingarette that was light and creamy. My peach shortcake on a most delicious herb biscuit completed a fine dining adventure. Ah Santa Fe offers excellent cuisine in so many locations. Of all my recent experiences, this restaurant resides in my top three. A meal ought to contain all the delicacies of fine art, and the chef succeeded magnificently.
However if you’ve been hanging out and about lately, there’s plenty of stuff to drag you around the deep brown earth or pavement:
Obama likes nuclear power plants, and thinks there such a thing as clean coal (Ha!)
The twin cities are so afraid of protestors they did pre-emptive attacks on innocent people. They broke all kinds of rules, laws, and constitutional rights. Watch out they may be coming to a house near you and decide to invade your house just for the fun of it!!! Go watch AMY GOODMAN Democracy Now shows the last two weeks.
Republicans hate and beat up the Press. Literally. Cops don’t wear badges. Reporters from many big papers too, famous editions, get arrested. Women get angryt…whoa.
Veterans are aalmost pepper sprayed in Denver. Lots of upset while the convention dwellers and most media act as if notheing is happening. Protestors send in reinforcements.
Gustav was a wash out. However the citizens have too many concerns and rightly so.
So today, I got a fun email that may give you a breath of FRESH air.
We apologize for the wait but when you hear what
we have to tell you, I’m sure you’ll agree it will be
worth the wait.
You can register below for the teleseminar. We only have

Also if you have a club for girls and teens, or a scout group, or a church group, or simply want to bring your daughters, neices, and their friends; this would be a great ways to show them that they too can really have an impact on their community.

THE SOUTH AUSTIN JUG BAND
Let’s just get it out of the way right now: There’s no jug-playing in the South Austin Jug Band. And the bluegrass connotation that name carries should be spilled down the drain along with any other moonshine-preconceived notions. Sure, there’s fiddle, mandolin, an upright bass … but there’s also drumming, occasional electric guitar and even digital looping. And Beck. The band’s latest album, Strange Invitation, gets its title from a lyric in Mr. Hansen’s 1997 charmer, “Jackass,” the only cover on this 11-song collection.
Comparisons, if they must be made, might meander more toward a low-intensity Grateful Dead (which, it should be noted, started out as a real jug band) or something with an even more melodic and laid-back vibe. Lead singer/acoustic guitarist James Hyland, whose tenor redefines mellow, would be quite happy if you’d just go with “bitchin’ tunes.” www.southaustinjugband.com

He was born in 1970 in Zimbabwe. He holds amazing Energy of the Ancestral Spirit that he
shares in his music and in the honesty of his voice.Musekiwa Chingodza was born into a family
of great mbira players in Mwangara village, Murewa, Zimbabwe, in 1970. He began playing mbira
at the age of five and is self-taught. Through listening to other gwenyambira, or great mbira players,
he developed a strong attachment to and love for mbira music. He says, “Our music is both medicine
and food, as mbira has the power to heal and to provide for people. Mbira pleases both the living
and the dead.” In 1991, Musekiwa was a key member of the band Panjea, founded by Chris Berry.
He composed the hit song “Ganda” on Panjea’s Zimbabwean album. Currently Musekiwa teaches mbira
at Prince Edward School in Harare. He is an excellent singer, dancer, drummer, and he plays both
mbira dzavadzimu and nyunga nyunga.

A good friend and famous basket weaver sent me this article from the Bangor Daily News. Her pictures don’t show here, however the story is good. It’s a fine change of pace for the blog, and besides I am proud of her accomplishements. The folk history aspect is also interesting to me, as once upon a time, I began a book about contemporary folks tales from Maine women. I interviewed her when she was seven or eight years old. How cycles progress! Enjoy.

Story Bank audiovisual archive project invites Folk Festival visitors to share their lore
Bangor Daily News/Gabor Degre
Pam Cunningham of Hampden braids sweet grass to put inside one of her honor baskets. Cunningham, a Penobscot basket maker, has been making the traditional white ash baskets since 1994. She will tell the story of Wabanaki basketry at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Folk Life Center Narrative Stage at the American Folk Festival.

One of the stories Chace Jackson likes to tell about his fellow Allagash residents is the one about the day that Clark McBreairte walked on water. “Clark’s 88 years old now, but in his youth, he was very athletic. He worked on the river, driving logs, and no one could handle his footing better than Clark,” said Jackson, a 17-year-old senior at Fort Kent Community High School. “One day a bateau was pulled up along the shore, and the rope broke. It drifted down the river into a section with really bad rapids, so Clark started running over the logs, jumping onto each one, chasing after it.”
McBreairte eventually jumped onto a fir log, and because firs are lighter than other trees, they float just below the surface of the water.
“To everyone that was watching him, it looked like he was walking on water,” said Jackson. “That was the day Clark walked on water. That’s a story that you just have to keep alive. That’s irreplaceable.”
Preserving the stories and culture of the Allagash is Jackson’s passion, and as the youngest in a family that has lived in the area for generations, he feels obligated to honor his ancestors. He, along with a diverse array of other history-minded Mainers, took part in StoryBank, a weeklong seminar held in June at the University of Maine’s Folklife Center. The project is designed for those like Jackson, and teaches them skills in interviewing, audio recording, video and photography, in order to go out and collect stories.
The eventual goal of StoryBank is to accumulate an audiovisual archive of stories from Mainers in order to define a “sense of place” — that sense of specific, localized identity. Of course, there’s no one part of Maine culture that defines Maine, which is why StoryBank reached out to people from all over the state — from Somali immigrants in Lewiston to organic farmers in Hancock County. Those first documented stories will be presented Saturday and Sunday at this year’s American Folk
Festival on the Bangor Waterfront, on the Maine Folklife Center’s Narrative Stage.
Pauleena MacDougall is the director of the Folklife Center, and, with Camden folklorist Kathleen Mundell, initiated the project. She found the concept of sense of place to be the perfect springboard for amassing stories.
“How do we, as Mainers, define Maine?” asked MacDougall. “We get a lot of different answers, of course. A logger in the Allagash and a lobsterman in Jonesboro have two totally different perspectives. It all depends on where you’re coming from. The idea is to collect as many different stories from as many different places as possible, and to have it be a kind of collective voice.”
Participants worked with people such as UM new media professor and photographer Bill Kuykendall, archivist Pamela Dean and audio specialist Rob Rosenthal to gain the technical skills needed to go out into the field and gather their stories. One of the participants, Pam Outdusis Cunningham, a Hampden resident and Penobscot Indian who did her research on Wabanaki basket making, found the project to be an asset to her innate storytelling skills.
“Storytelling comes easy to me, but what I didn’t know was all the technical stuff,” said Cunningham. “I’d been doing a little bit of recording and archiving, but now I can do even more. It was really an amazing opportunity for me.”
Cunningham is in the unique position of being both a storyteller and a part of the story. She herself is a basket maker, and grew up on Indian Island. Her interest in recording and archiving began when she worked in community health care and would do house calls on elders and shut-ins on the island.
“One of the ways I would get them to talk to me about their health was through basketry, and all the people we knew in common,” said Cunningham. “Someone would remember my great-grandmother making baskets, and eventually they opened up to me. It was an icebreaker and a way to connect.”
Once you have an entry into a person’s world, it’s then up to you to ask the right questions.
“You have to ask questions of people, like, ‘What are the places that have special significance in your community?’ and ‘What are the sound and smells you associate with your town?’ or ‘Who are the special people?’” said MacDougall. “We all have these internal maps of our communities, that we don’t necessarily have any concrete definitions of. We’re trying to bring these out.”
Nancy Dewey, a Deer Isle resident, chose to focus on Veronica Dodge, a local crab picker. Dewey is fascinated by both the challenges that face people living in rural communities, especially island communities such as Deer Isle, and also by people who work with their hands — so Dodge was a natural choice for her.
“Things have changed so quickly here [in Deer Isle], in terms of fishing and being able to make a living in an island community,” said Dewey. “My way of honoring these citizens is to get their history, to get them to speak in a way that honors them. Every time a story is told, it changes a little bit. It’s not about getting the entire story, or getting something very factual and concrete — it’s about getting a story that applies to them.”
Dewey, Cunningham and Jackson will use the skills they gained at StoryBank to continue doing what they love: storytelling. For Jackson, it’s vitally important to preserve the culture of the Allagash — a unique, isolated community rich in the traditions of the Scottish, Irish and English people who first settled it. Jackson wants to study archaeology or history when he goes off to college next year, and his dream is someday to work as an archivist or folklorist.
“I’ve always collected information. I try to keep what we can, and salvage all this history before it’s lost forever,” said Jackson. “Our culture is dying. It’s happening in the St. John Valley, and it’s happening here in the Allagash. We can’t let it be forgotten.”
It’s not just about getting things down on tape, though — the process of telling a story is a kind of therapy, for both the talker and the listener. Cunningham found that the people she interviewed felt really good once they got things out in the open.
“People really do want to share their stories, if you know how to draw it out of them. And once you do, they don’t want to stop talking. You can find out a lot of good history,” said Cunningham. “Everybody has a story, if you take the time to listen to them.”

This could be a long story, so let me find some music to go along with this.
How does this video relate to today’s topic? Well let’s start at the beginning. Late Friday night I receive a call giving me a blog topic: Hillary Clinton is coming to Espanola NM. SO I try a little to find some interst, and a ride. Work Saturday. No email or phone replies. SUnday I get up begining to plan a day, and keep thinking about the event. So I call a friend and say want to rent a car to go to Espanola? She says, “Sure!” So with some difficulty finding a car ro rent we end up going to the airport to get the car and we wonder why all the police cars: dah it was Hillary’s escort from the airport!
We head north and are making good time and run into rain. It has stopped by the time we arrive at Northern New Mexico University. The parking lot is very full. The walk extraordinarily far for two people with noticeable joint issues. I have Pat stop at the first guy and I ask, since we both need canes, if there is a way to park closer and he smiles and gives directions. As we get to the building, I hear that there are no more seats —and then someone tells a person in a wheel chair that there are a few seats near the front. A gentleman looks at us and asks if we need seat, and I say yes, and he says follow her! So we are escorted to the front of the auditorium and seated. We had a great view. We were honored and cared for. This is Northern New Mexico hospitality. People were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The house was packed, speakers had just begun to talk, and we were blessed with seats.
There was joy and excitement in the air, and all the democratic politicos. Well not all but many. Each introduced the next guy, praised Hillary, and said hello to local politicians famous. This si how we do it here one said. It is important to support the players who are running. The Governor, THe Senator, the Senator running, the new wanna be rep….you get the picture. Our Lt Govenor was a great moderator and crowd speller. She wove a weave that enchanted everyone.
Finally Hillary appeared. The lady behind me kept bellowing to her friend, “I came here to hear Hillary,” there’s one in every crowd. Cameras, Cell phones, and video cameras were active. For awhile, I thought several Old ladies thought they were at a concert as they remained standing when Hillary came on stage. Finally, they decided to sit down.
Hillary wore the same baby blue outfit, taylored, fiitting nicely, but reflecting like a half straight jacket. She needs a few fashion clues. She spoke energetically about community, about us working together to get the vote out, and then reviewing the principles shared by her and Obama. It was a great speech forus Hillary fans to transfer our support to the Great Obama. Afterall 18 million voters have supported her and still do. The time flew by. We were looking for a quick exit when we were informed by the Secret Service, that that exit was closed. Pat loved the attention a young agent gave her as we tried to return away from Hillary when most people were trying to greet her.
She was fantastic and inspirational. She shares an electrifying energy and connects well with her audience. She would scan the group making certain to discuss issue pertinent to them. She’s relaxed and know New Mexican style. Her art is masterful.
The violins convey the classical depth of conversation and experience. They also reveal my mother’s attitude of pretending to play when my father said the same old saaaaaame old…. did your Mom do that too? I heard this all before. These violins on the video demonstrate people coming together, at a grassroot level with life zest and interactive celebration! Ah we are all here having so many dynamic feelings and journeys to share. Hey vote for that young guy, wanna be Representative too: he’s now part of the team. We can all win in NM. Join the neighborhood group and work hard! All of us.
The rain, thunder, and lightening were pouring and flashing as we walked back to the car parked under the old and huge Cottonwood tree. I couldn’t keep up with Pat who discovered she could scuury faster with the cane. Not I. I did not mind the rain, only those who nearly pushed me into a ravine because I was a slow mover.
The rain became so severe that I insisted we pull off at a Casino, the first one we stopped at was overcrowded with a long line of cars, so i went back on the highway. Pat thought I was fooling until she realized we were at near flash flood conditions. We had a lovely dinner. I played briefly and lost.
The sun came back out and I drove through Tesquque where the roads were covered with dirt and rocks. We ventured up the mountain, up Artist Rd, past tenthousand waves and Hyde Park. Up higher into the Santa Fe National Park. A grand late afternoon carnival of colors and tones. Glistening with the freshness of the rain. We saw six or more lovely tall deer crossing the road and climbing up another summit. A rare treat on this road. We listened to the stream, enjoyed a lavender sunset that spanned from Albuqueruqe to north of Espanola. From clouds to mountains to the valley and plains below. As we drove to the Airport to retrieve my car, we suddenly enjoyed the full moon over western skyscape. Indigo darkening blue sky. All this because of Hillary. A grand and memorable day.
