Georgia's Siren Call

"The optimist looks at the horizon and sees an opportunity; 
the pessimist peers into the distance and fears a problem." 
William Arthur Ward

I love planning trips - I realize that 87 percent of the time the plan changes. I will be done with all that needs to be done by Monday morning. This is subject to change because I am seeing a new doctor Thursday about my back, shoulder, pain management.... I am hoping he will say "wear a sling." 

My friend, Marta will be following me. We wanted to camp at the Cosmic Campground in New Mexico but it is closed. So Luna Lake AZ will be the first stop, followed by Canyons of the Ancients CO, then Bisti Badlands NM..... I am aware there is a whole lot of beauty where we will be exploring- I am aware we will get sidetracked.... a lot. So I am not setting dates. 

After exploring three states with designated stops, I plan to travel east stopping in Iowa, Missouri, Illinois. 

My take off date? Sometime before the 20th. 

Then I will head home after visiting friends, family.... unless I heed Georgia's siren call. Which would not be a bad thing.

The Three Rivers Petroglyph Site

“When we connect with our ancestors and put their wisdom into action, we are evolving our collective consciousness. We are transporting the ancient truths of our collective past and birthing them into our future. What we create out of those truths extends the wisdom of all those who have gone before us, and it provides a guide for all those who will follow.”― Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset

Three Rivers Petroglyph Site contains over 21,000 petroglyphs, including masks, sunbursts, wildlife, handprints, and geometric designs. The number and concentration of petroglyphs make this one of the largest and most interesting rock art sites in the Southwest. A 0.5-mile trail begins at the visitor shelter and links many of the most interesting petroglyphs. Another short trail begins on the east side of the picnic area and leads to a partially excavated prehistoric village.

It Is Not Happening - Yet

Milarepa, a great Tibetan yogi and enlightened being, 

was asked about enlightenment. He said, 

“It is the space between thoughts.” 

The interlude of the breath is the way to discover this. 

Enlightenment is a particular neutrality that is lived within each moment.

Traveling at this time is not happening - but soon.  My back should be stronger by the end of the month.  This evening I sat on my pillow and meditated.... more important I got back up.  Exercise will keep the back limber and on the road to healing.

My back will be on the road....

I will not.  So not fair.

Meanwhile I will post pictures of random 2020 travel photos for entertainment and talk about my everyday life.  

It is going to get interesting.
