“Whoa, there are mysteries in this world!”
Here’s my chance to recreate a blog posted that showed up blank on my computer anyway.
I think that once a year, it is a great idea to review one of our most important historical contracts: the declaration of Independence. The real reason that we have the 4th of July. May we remember, cherish, and uphold the truths here. May we celebrate that we are American CItizens and can protect our freedoms.
Whether we have really upheld these beliefs, repsected our citiznens, or show a reverence for America, I work in heart and mind towards a better realization of democracy that we set forth to do. Happy Birthday America!
“It was grace that brought….it was grace that leaves us whole…”
Dedicated to the planet earth, where some suggests that humans are stewards for the planet’s well being. Here is a call for Americans to unite, and once again change the world for good, health, freedom, and harmony.
Yes listen to several versions:
“I once was lost, but now I am found….”
“I was once blind, but now I see….”
Now that I see, I can alter my ways, and help others realize our mutual response ability.
Let us sing together and work together to cherish our planet, our country, and one another. Let us work together for the healing of our mother earth.
I just watched a fantastic film on DVD called Amazing Grace. It told the story of Mr. William Wilberforce and a long fight against slavery as commerce for England.
Do go see this movie on a DVD. On the near of July 4, when the country will rise up and celebrate the birth of our nation, with dance, pancake breakfasts, music festivals, and fireworks, how many will reflect on the history of economics, commerce, wars, and our most recently denied challenge: global warming.
In the movie, Mr Wiberforce took on an overwhelming challenge and experienced many defeats. Yet, with the help of a woman, he regained his health and returned to his mission where he in a fine strategic move used a political ploy to put an end to slavery for the British empire. He also awakened a people’s sense of morality.
In these days the concept of morality seldom rises to challenge commerce running destructively wild on a rampage destined for destruction. Errant wars divert the people’s conscience so that powers to be can ignore our plant’s health, our elder’s medical care, among multiple other human issues.
What is America’s sense of morality where oil is concerned. In the USA, government and industry lunge forward gasping for more drilling, more nuclear power plants, more coal plants, hoping that their desperation will garnish more power, pollution, and control. Perhaps as stated in the movie, “the King is Mad…and the corporations crazy.
Industry, as in the movie, has lost all moral consciousness. Humans matter not, nor does the planet that sustains us. All too many good people are trapped in the guise of profit and need. I dare note if we combined 20% of the oil companies massive profit, and 40% of our militaries bomb budget, we could convert to alternate fuel and energy sources. Plus there would be plenty of new homegrown USA jobs for American workers. Alas morality and responsibility are values not in vogue by many these days.
Perhaps this fourth of July, we need to look deeply at our roots. Remember what America used to be. Commit ourselves to rid ourselves of an oppressive regime, and scandoulous and racketeerring commerce. Perhaps we need to stand united and find real solutions to our energy needs, and our planet’s health. Perhaps, even take responsibilty for taking care of the earth.
What would happen if cars did not need oil? If houses were heated by the sun? If jobs were created at home to help with our conversion. Make a few links and spread the word.
Ok here’s a wild overview. Come and dance. COme and discover beer all over again. Come and eat. It’s a holiday worth celebrating. Wave your flag high. Celebrate America.

REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND
“Like Robert Johnson on crack……”
The three-piece from Indianapolis kills with a high-energy sound steeped in classic Blues tradition. With acoustic guitar, dobro, a minimal drum kit and washboard, the trio concocts a rousing, hyper and authentic brand of Blues that sounds like the backwaters of the Mississippi delta. The Rev. Peyton has a voice dripping with the hallowed, life-worn distinctiveness of the masters, while brother Jayme Peyton (drums) and The Rev’s wife, “Washboard” Breezy, stir up a tornadic rhythmic whirl.

Pianist Yuja Wang kicks off 2008 season with performance at the 2nd Annual Chefs’ Gala
One of the classical music world’s rising stars, pianist Yuja Wang helps to kick of the Festival’s season for the second time in as many years. On July 17, at the Festival’s opening gala at the Scottish Rite Center, Ms. Wang will give a recital featuring Chopin’s Barcarolle for piano in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 60, Liszt’s La Campanella, Mendelssohn- Bartholdy’s Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Ginastera’s Ruvido ed ostinato from Sonata No. 1, Op. 22, Balakirev’s The Lark (Zhavoronok) (transcribed); Liszt’s Danse macabre, (transcribed), and Kapustin’s Variations for piano, Op. 41.
At 21, Ms. Wang has firmly established herself as one of the most significant pianists of her generation. She first came to international recognition in February 2005 when, on one days notice, she replaced Radu Lupu with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Pinchas Zukerman conducting, and performed Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. The success was immediate with the Canada press reporting “a star is born.” Ms. Wang was immediately reengaged to perform Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 that June and has been invited back every season since. In March 2007, her career received a major advancement when she replaced Martha Argrich playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit conducting.
Ms. Wang has performed with such renowned US orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, the Boston, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and Kansas City symphonies, and abroad with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Tonhalle Orchestra (Switzerland), Nagoya Philharmonic (Japan), the China Philharmonic (Beijing) and the Guangzhou Symphony, to name a few.
Highlights of Ms. Wang’s 2007-08 season included her debut in Lisbon, Portugal where she replaced Evgeny Kissin, performing both Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3; closing the 2007 St. Petersburg Winter Arts Festival at the invitation of Mo. Temirkanov, and replacing Yefim Bronfman on one days notice to perform Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Swedish Radio Orchestra.
Born in Beijing, China in 1987, Yuja Wang was drawn to the piano at the age of six when she began studying with Professors Ling Yuan and Zhou Guangren at Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music. She moved to the United States at age 15 to attend Philadelphia’s prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied under Gary Graffman. She has also studied with John Perry at the Aspen Music Festival (2002 and 2003 summers), at the Mount Royal College Conservatory Academy Program for Gifted Youth with teachers Hung Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone (2001-2002) and at three Morningside Music summer programs (1999-2001) at Calgary’s Mount Royal College. Before moving to the United States, Ms. Wang was a prizewinner in many regional competitions within China, as well as competitions in Spain and Germany. In 2001 she won first prize in the Junior Group of the Seiler International Piano Competition, and was the third prize-winner and recipient of the Special Jury Award at the First Japan Sendai International Music Competition. In 2002, Ms. Wang won the Aspen Music Festival’s concerto competition, and in 2006 she received the Gilmore Young Artist Award
Yuja Wang can be heard in five performances throughout week one of the 2008 Festival season, including a solo piano recital on July 22 featuring works by Chopin, Scriabin, Albeniz and Beethoven.

Ensemble Profile: Imani Winds
Since 1997, the Grammy nominated Imani Winds have been enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire with European, American, African and Latin American traditions. As their Swahili name Imani (”faith”) denotes, the five adventurous musicians (Valerie Coleman, flutist and composer; Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboe; Mariam Adam, clarinet; Jeff Scott, horn; Monica Ellis, bassoon) have followed their mission closely, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with their dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, and inspirational outreach programs.
The ensemble celebrates their 10-year anniversary with an ambitious commissioning initiative aptly entitled the Legacy Commissioning Project, to extend over five years and to include 10 composers from different musical disciplines. The project kicks off in 2008 with world premieres by Alvin Singleton and Roberto Sierra commissioned by Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Chamber Music Northwest, and Stanford Lively Arts.
Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival audiences have the opportunity to hear the Imani Winds in performance in four concerts at the beginning of the season: on July 26 in a concert featuring Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue (arranged by Valerie Coleman); Paquita D’Riviera’s Kites Over Havana; Astor Piazzolla’s Fuga Y Misterio (arranged by Jeff Scott); Julio Medaglia’s Suite Popular Brasiliera; Valerie Coleman’s Portaits of Josephine Baker and Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango (arranged by Jeff Scott) on July 27 and 28 as one half of the group performing the world premiere of Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 2008co-commission with Chamber Music Northwest of Roberto Sierra’s Concierto de Camara (the nonet is performed by the Imani Winds and Miami String Quartet), and in a youth concert on the morning of July 28.
Through commissions and performance the quintet regularly collaborates with other artists. Josephine Baker: A Life of Le Jazz Hot, a collaboration with chanteuse René Marie and choreographer Christopher Huggins, has been performed in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, among other cities, to great acclaim. Imani Winds performed the world premiere of Terra Incognita, the first-ever commission for classical artists by jazz composer, performer and legend Wayne Shorter, and have shared the stage with Yo-Yo Ma for a rousing performance of Jeff Scott’s arrangement of Libertango. In 2007 the ensemble collaborated with bassist/trombonist Chris Brubeck of the famed Brubeck family for a performance and recording of music written especially for wind quintet and jazz quartet (to be released by Koch in 2008). The group’s Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center residency culminated in a recital in New York’s Alice Tully Hall with renowned clarinetist/saxophonist/composer Paquito D’Rivera. The ensemble has also worked with luminaries such as bandoneonist Daniel Binelli, saxophonist Steve Coleman, clarinetist David Shifrin, and pianists Gilbert Kalish and Shai Wosner. Future collaborations include Stefon Harris and David Krakauer.
The Imani Winds have been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2007 ASCAP Award, 2002 CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, and the CMA/WQXR Award for their debut and self-released CD Umoja. At the 2001 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, Imani Winds was selected as the first-ever Educational Residency Ensemble, in recognition of their tremendous musical abilities and innovative programming.
The Imani Winds have three releases on Koch International Classics, including their 2006 Grammy Award nominated recording, The Classical Underground.

Artist’s Corner
Do you have a favorite past performance at the Festival?
“I really enjoyed the performance of Frankenstein by Gruber from last summer, and I got to stretch my horn skills to the limit with Esa Pekka Solonen’s Concert Etude for Horn that I performed two years ago. That by far was the most challenging piece for horn that I have ever played.”
What do you feel it is about the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival that makes it unique?
“The Festival has that Santa Fe relaxation vibe going for it; everyone is friendly, laid back and happy when they get here, and playing in the St. Francis Chapel or the Lensic is always fun. The well educated and appreciative audiences are always good to play for as well.”
William Barnewitz, horn player
Mr. Barnewitz can be heard at the Lensic on August 18 performing Beethoven’s Quintet for Winds and on August 20 performing Dvorak’s Serenade in D Minor, Op. 44. Check the season schedule at http://santafechambermusic.com for complete details on the concert programs.
This week the FTC, Federal Trade Commission the Big Brother Watching US group, made one person shut down his site because he included information on used of herbs. Now he is sueing them for denying his first amendment freddom of speech. (Bravo!)
As a writer, I believe that we need to make a stand for free speech. Please read on….

29 Healing Herbs: Some of my favorites.
This could be illegal….watch out!!!
Before I write about 29 of my favorite HEALING herbs, if you are someone who know about the FTC case against the Internet Marketer,see if his lawyer would like others to join the case to make a class action suit.
I googled healing herbs and came up with 827,000 listings. So then I googled healing herbs us sites and got about 425,000 for us sites.
The guy who got hit was actually referring to US Federal Publications, available to anyone about HEALIBG HERBS. So I ask you, why does the US government want to prevent Americans from learning about docuements that they have previously approved for publication about health and Herbs?
I won’t go into that discussion now. A couple of thousand years ago, a knowledgeable Jewish man proclaimed, “Heal Yourself!” His name was Jesus and it might be curious to see how often he told us to do that. Check the Bible.
Although he was referring to the power of the holy spirit or God to heal us, if you also check the Bible, you could probably find many references to herbs that were used for healing. Your government, if you are a US citizen, doesn’t want you to print or publish this information.
Seems like censorship to me.
So here is your list of my favorite 29 healing herbs.
Yes they are all healing herbs. Yes it would be best to consult herbalists, naturpathic doctors, some of the 425,000 websites, and books to learn more about these fairly common herbs. Most of these may be found in your backyard, or kitchen cupboard. All but a few can be found and are commonly grown in North America.
I am using this as an example. If I were to make claims about their use, suggest what they could do, or apparently publish a reference sheet from where I got this information the FTC could make a lot of threats to me, possibly levy fines, and in some states in the USA lock me up (in prison).
Please share this information, and I think if all internet marketers rallied to support freedom of speech or the guy who got shut down, we could have a real good case.
When we don’t make a stand, it’s just that much easier for us to lose what we think is ours.
29: Yep they can all be used for healing many discomforts. Add your thoughts please.

Wednesday, June 25
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
632 Agua Fria St.
Blenders are a Wednesday night feature at Santa Fe Complex, located at 632 Agua Fria St. Entrance is on Romero St. Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served; donations to defray their costs are welcome. Click here for directions.
Santa Fe, NM - June 25, 2008 - Santa Fe has the great good fortune of hosting three pioneers in holography: Rebecca Deem, Fred Unterseher, and August Muth. They will join Wednesday’s Blender at Santa Fe Complex to discuss their work, some of which is on display at the complex. The speakers will limit their formal presentations to 15 minutes each, leaving time for contributions from the audience and lots of discussion.
These three artists, innovators and technologists pzarticipated in the grand opening of Santa Fe Complex on June 14. They will be speaking on their pieces from that show and other topics in holography tonight from 6 to 8 PM.
About the Speakers
Rebecca Deem: Rebecca first saw holograms at an art gallery in 1970 while completing an Art supervision degree. In 1988, she received the Shearwater Foundation Art Holography Award. In 1995 with partner Fred Unterseher, she co-founded Zone Holografix Studios, an art and teaching studio with a pulse laser lab. She continues to exhibit artwork, teach and write for electronic and print publications.
Fred Unterseher: Fred graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in the early 70’s. He worked on the cooperative projects Artaud, The Emeryville Artists Coop., ANT FARM (the art/media collective famous for Cadillac Ranch). He co-founded the San Francisco School of Holography with Lloyd Cross and Gerry Pethick. He conceived and co-authored the HOLOGRAPHY HANDBOOK, A Practical Guide to Holography in 1987. He was Director of Education at the Museum of Holography, New York, New York. He was a member of the team that created the first pulsed laser portrait of a president (Ronald Reagan)in 1989. In 1995 he co-founded Holografix Studios with Rebecca Deem. He is a consultant for NASA and JPL on 3-D imaging systems and until recently taught at the Brooks Institute of Photography & Pasadena City College.
August Muth: August was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and his early years in the vast landscape and dry climate of the high desert and mountains gave him the opportunity to develop a true appreciation for the elegance of light. After three years of studying art and physics at the university level in the southwest, August moved to New York City to pursue his studies and visions within the world of art there. In 1983, after viewing his first hologram, he realized he had discovered a direct path to a deeper understanding of the force of light. In 1984 and l985, he developed his holography skills at the Museum of Holography in N.Y.C. under the direction of Fred Untersher, a pioneer and early innovator in holography.
Since 1986, he has specialized in the field of “reflection dichromated gelatin holography”. This type of holography is unsurpassed in its clarity and superior quality. His progress in developing and refining processes and techniques in this demanding technology have allowed him to manipulate light into various beautiful and subtle forms. His most recent works include the lamination of optical glass and creation of holograms in multiple layers. He calls this current body of work “Time Capsules”, a reference to light as being the vehicle of time.
What Is Holography?
Holography (from the Greek, όλος-hòlòs whole + γραφή-grafè writing, drawing) is the science of producing holograms. It is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the recording medium as it was when recorded. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way is if the object were still present. Holograms can also be made using other types of waves. (See: Wikipedia.)

We are a community studio creating connections in science, technology and art. Our roots lie in the rich cultural, scientific and artistic traditions of northern New Mexico; our vision is a world where technology supports a renaissance in art and science that opens our minds and hearts to our full human potential.

Guys this means you too…look at these candidates.
Dear MoveOn member, (Go to www.squidoo.com/makinart)
Health care is an issue that is really close to my heart. And I know it matters to a lot of Americans, particularly mothers. But time and again, Republicans have blocked progress on expanding health care-most recently the expansion of the children’s health insurance program-and on so many other important issues.
That’s why we need to elect more progressive women in Congress in 2008, to stand with President Obama on healthcare and other key issues.
MoveOn is working with EMILY’s List to highlight some great candidates like Kay Hagan, a legislator in my home state of North Carolina who is running for U.S. Senate. It is a race that the pundits and politicos had previously ignored, but no longer: Last week the Washington Post rated it as one of the most winnable Senate races for Democrats in the country.1
With a critical deadline for candidate fund-raising next Monday, can you help support Kay Hagan and other strong Democratic women like Jeanne Shaheen and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter from New Hampshire? All three women are running in key battleground states, and the voters they bring to the polls will also help us take the White House. Click here to chip in $25 to their campaigns today:
EMILY’s List supports pro-choice Democratic women for office. The organization is a great ally and is supporting these and other strong progressive candidates.
Here’s more detail on each of these spectacular women:
After five terms in the North Carolina State Senate, Kay Hagan is ready to move on to the US Senate. But first, she has to beat Sen. Elizabeth Dole this fall. Hagan has led the fight for children’s healthcare in our home state. In the US Senate, Kay wants to tackle climate change and high gas prices. Her opponent, Elizabeth Dole, has a $3 million war chest, and Hagan is going to need every penny she can raise in order to beat her and change this seat from one that consistently votes conservatively to one that consistently votes progressively.
When Kay wins, we will be that much closer to building a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. And the odds are in our favor: Republicans are defending 23 seats in competitive races-almost two-thirds of the races up for grabs-which means we’ll have an edge as we attempt to build a progressive majority.
We need Jeanne Shaheen to represent New Hampshire-and all of us-in the United States Senate too. Jeanne is the former Governor of New Hampshire; in fact she was the first woman ever elected to that office. Now she wants to blaze the trail again and become the first-ever woman elected senator from the state. The only thing standing in her way is incumbent Republican senator, John Sununu. Jeanne will be a fantastic senator, but we have to get her elected first.
Finally, there is the incredible Representative Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire, the best example I know of the kind of women we can elect if we work together from the grassroots. When she was still in high school a counselor told Carol she should forget about trying to make it to college and enroll in secretarial school.2
Instead, she became the first woman ever elected to Congress from New Hampshire in 2006, handily beating a Republican incumbent who was seen as invincible. During her short time in Congress, Shea-Porter has been a vocal opponent to the war in Iraq. This is her first reelection campaign, and she’s in a tough race. But Carol Shea-Porter has more than earned our support-we need to keep her in Congress.
Not only can you help make sure each of these women wins in her race, but you will also be helping to turn out more votes in important presidential battleground states. Can you chip in $25 to help elect these three women, each of whom can help us lead the House and Senate in a progressive direction? Click here to donate:
Today, out of 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, there are only seventy-one women. And only sixteen out of one hundred members of the Senate are women. 3 When will our voices be heard? They will be heard when we act together to get progressive women elected. With your help we can make sure that these progressive women’s voices are heard in Washington this fall, voices that will speak out against the war and for health care and other progressive priorities.
Thank you.
-Elizabeth Edwards

Though at the end you can see my response, first let me remind you, that I do hold the Senator with great respect. He does much good for our country, and has served us well for many years. Check his voting record to get a snapshot on where he’ll stand up for justice, environment, etc. His energy ties also are clearly delinated there too. I just thought this commentary went just a little off the wall. Perhaps a genuine attempt at doublespeak. The oil industry also is trying their best to invade NM, near watersheds, environmentally fragile areas, etc. A little research reveals many outright lies, but the companies are brash as Custer and will fight manicaly at their hunger to rape the land and carry away the dollars. Read on to get a more “balanced perspective” from the Senator.

Addressing Rising Fuel Costs
Like many Americans, I am concerned about the rising price of gasoline. In my position as the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I have been working to get a clear picture what actually is going on in oil and gasoline markets, and to find ways to reduce our nation’s reliance on imported oil.
There are many reasons why oil and gasoline prices are at all-time highs. Some of these factors have been building for a long time; others are more recent developments.
Among the more recent factors in pushing up oil and gasoline process is the weakness of our economy and the U.S. dollar. Our national economic policies have been out of touch with reality for most of the last eight years – focused on delivering large tax cuts to a few Americans, paid for with money borrowed overseas. The resulting poor economic growth and spiraling national debt have made the dollar less attractive, compared to other world currencies. As a result, we pay for oil and other world commodities with a weaker currency, which makes our pain at the pump worse.
Another new factor is the oil futures market. Many energy experts have commented on the increase in speculation that has pushed up oil and gas prices around the world. While estimates of this effect vary, it is clear that many aspects of the energy markets are poorly understood.
Finally, there are the traditional fundamental forces of supply and demand. Global energy demand is growing strongly, particularly in economies in countries that heavily subsidize the price of energy to their consumers.
Effective action to address high gasoline prices has to occur on many fronts. I have been working on a variety of steps, both long-term and short-term, that target the root causes of high energy prices.
Last December, Congress took a major step toward reducing our nation’s long-term oil consumption by requiring that vehicles become nearly 50 percent more efficient, putting overall vehicle fuel economy at 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Some experts estimate that this move will reduce our daily consumption by over 1 million barrels per day.
That same law also helped our long-term energy supply by moving us towards replacing billions of gallons of gasoline annually with homegrown biofuels, including second-generation biofuels made from switchgrass and algae.
More recently, Congress enacted legislation to end the White House’s misguided policy to remove oil from the market to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is already 97 percent filled. By ending this diversion of oil from the open market this move adds 70,000 barrels of light, sweet crude to the market daily – a modest, but useful step in the right direction.
Because market speculation is an important contributor to the recent spike in the price of oil, I pressed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission — which regulates the oil futures market — to exercise its regulatory authority to ensure that markets are functioning properly. In response to my concerns, the Commission has initiated a new investigation into whether markets are being manipulated. I am strongly pushing for legislation that would give the Commission the authority to step up its role, and help make oil trading more transparent.
Over the longer term, we’ll need to keep encouraging domestic production of oil and gas. Part of that will involve increasing production in areas that are most likely to yield new supplies soon. I have consistently supported increasing onshore production through disseminating advanced technology to domestic oil and gas producers, many of whom are independent producers, and through making sure Federal agencies have the resources necessary to expedite the approval of responsible new production.
We also need to find out why companies have yet to begin producing on the millions of areas already leased – both onshore and off – that are ready for production, but remain idle. Thirty-one million of the 45.5 million acres of public lands that have been leased out are not currently being produced. Likewise, there are 33 million acres in the Outer Continental Shelf that are under lease yet no drilling has begun.
There is no doubt that the high price of gasoline is creating a substantial economic burden on American families. That is why I will continue pressing for long-term and short-term solutions that will allow our country to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, including promoting alternative, homegrown fuels that will help achieve energy security and economic prosperity.
Your Thoughts*
This is a very good attempt to describe how energy inefficient we are. However, bottom line our own oil cartel backed by an illegal war effort in Iraq, has put the money in the rich oil mongers pockets in unprecendented high profits. This is a calculated massacre well orchestrated and not confronted by any office. We once had anti-trust and racketeering laws that would be enforced in similiar circumstances. We have a COngress too afraid to stand up to the Oil Emperor Bush, or his cronies. It’s also a great ploy to decimate fragile environments, pollute the ocean, and allow the boys to enact their destruction we don’t care malicious fatal attacks. AS a senator long funded by oil and nuclear energy folks, it’s difficult for you to fess up to the policies that subsidze oil companies, nuke plants, and other environmentally minded concerns. And you are a “good” guy. In the short run the planet will evict the human race soon enough because no one has found an effective way to stand up for the right thing or the good of the people. Example, if small poor countries can subsidize consumers costs at the pump, surely the USA could too, if it wanted to. We’d rather export jobs, hire illegal alaiens, and line massive bank accounts of the oil mongers. C- for the govt. no efforts to help American Families.

I will begin with 15 words of gratitude. WHy? Friends who do a lot of pyschological and metaphysical research remind me that writing down gratitudes improves health, attitude, and brain function. Secondly it makes me feel good and reminds myself of a generous universe and our higher power.
Thank you for the rain. Thanks for the lady customer who met me at the Post Office and helped me re-align my perspective of my day. Thanks for supplements that can bring a aching and inflammed knee to practically no pain. Thanks for the time to walk barefoot in my yard and water those new plants I got yesterday. (It was a very short and windy rain). Thanks for the eggplant seedling that was left for dead at the store and who now is growing again. I just discoverd it actually is two plants. Thanks for sales on stuff I want. Thanks for the cooler weather between very hot days. Mornings have been refreshing, and the evening cool down some too. Thanks for the natural gentle breeze that visit my bedroom every night all summer long. No need for a fan!
Thanks for friends. Thanks for the lunch out yesterday. Thanks for the swim tomorrow. Thanks for new streams of income. Thanks for being able to pay bills. Thanks for being able to give stuff to Pat. Thanks for the free children’s books that I gave to the neighbor for her younger nephew. Thanks for time to write. Thanks for this blog. Thank you readers.
You may have noticed that I mentioned lots of littler things. I am thankful for my old car that keeps running. Small things fill our day. The more we can enjoy the events, like the light framed my a wooden frame old window gazing upon adobe building with tree shadow dancing.
That moment alone in the Anazi Inn, waiting for a friend to arrive, where the cool air and elegant decor erased the heat wave blasting. That moment where my eyes drew a masterpiece, timeless with adobe whisphering old stories about wanderers from the past. Santa Fe always filled with travellers who accidentally sip the magic of this transcendental place. Awakened some even rest rom the hustle and bustle of trade. Light through the window, and an old adobe wall: the same and always changing. My fingers ached to draw. I gave a prayer of thanksgiving. I felt humbled to be witness to moment now and eternal.
Lunch was good too. A few blogs ago, I wrote about the lady who loved horses. In Santa Fe people are occassionally inducted as our living treasures for the noteworthy days contributed over many years to our community. I think horses are living treasures too. Along with rusty orange irises that bloom after all the others have passed. Enjoy these picturesfrom Cynthia Decosta’s ranch. Also go read the earlier blog about her thoughts and her ranch.
Look up Santa Fe Living treasures and meet the wonderful people who have and many still do weave the town’s culture and lore.
As I have a lot more to catch up on, I’ll leave you sitting upon the plaza listening to the summer music in the fresh evening air. A liitle rain will make the aroma fill your lungs with joy. Clear out your calendar too, as the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is about to Begin. Come one and come all. The Santa Fe Opera will have the city on fire and fairly crowded too. People from all over the world travel here for opera each year. Give yourself time for an early dinner or fine wine afterwards with some…and if you come to this neck of the woods and want some personal guide ideas….write me here so that we may connect.
This was perfect timing! I just came in from a long planting session. After two friends took me to lunch, and then I did an errand for me and a friend at Natutral Grocers, I went plant shopping. Home Depot had some flowers on sale. Hence I expanded my purchase 4 fold but only spent twice as much. As I had lost several plants these last few weeks wind and heat may have been the culprit, though I am not sure, I sought out some replacements and some new varieties. Home depot had some of each, and a better selection than recent visits.
I got done planting about 10:10 PM. The wind managed to blow away two sets of rain clouds this evening. I had hoped that these new plants would get their beloved ioned rainfall. So When the stars replaced the clouds, I took my trusty hose and watered away.
Chuck Bartok may not be growing tomatoes in NM, but he has a long history of growing tomatoes. His video is fun and has many parts. It is really worth watching, and tell your friends. I have four tomatoe plants. Two are tall organic golden cherry or maybe plum tomatoes. One has 2 small oval shaped fruits. The other two smaller plant are some variety of red tomato. Maybe a big boy. My production hasn’t ever come near to Chuck’s production.
Check out the video. Your plants will thank you. He has lots of good tips.
I thought this was going to be quick post. However, seems like a few technical difficulites. Not on my part today. Rather frustrating. Ah but at least the automatic save kicked in. So I’ll post without a pic, himmmm will you tube work instead.
My intro was going to be: I’ll take the Taos Ice Cream, haven’t had any in awhile and enjoy a tall glass of water while I listen to the LIVE music. Better than just tje cool temp, and thrist quenching beverages, the music invigorates and inspires. Music quickens the blood, excites the body, and can open the mind. There’s music all over this town, and Albuquerque too. So come and listen.
Now for all of you who love to imbibe: you have terrific choices at SFBC pub and grill. Of course there’ll be times when you’d prefer the tasting room. Have a designated driver. Some of the brews do have a real kick.
Hey ya’ll! Get your summer groove on at Santa Fe’s funnest annual party!
Head downtown for a family friendly good time
with the staff of Santa Fe’s favorite alternative weekly newspaper!
