Hey friends
I left Big Sur on Tues by about 8:30 am and got to Kingman last evening about 8pm. It was a little hard to get away from the coast, I kept stopping for pictures along the coast and took my time in Cambria........and then I finally got on my way.
The landscapes of southern California were stunning as I was approaching the Arizona border. Wow!! I felt like a child just gazing and gazing at the horizon line of the mountains and desert. I kept looking with an artists eye seeing the shapes and colors and imagining how I would draw or paint such a landscape. I stopped along the highway once and did a small drawing.....and it was SO HOT I could hardly stand it. Wow!!
Let's see what the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff are like today. I plan on camping around the Grand Canyon tonight and then going into New Mexico tomorrow for a few nights.
I am always deeply impressed that the Native Americans were able to live here and still I can feel their mystical energy so strongly. I love feeling their influence and presence. As a child I always played the part on the Indian, never the coyboy. Even then I was always for the underdog.
My family went on a 3 week road-trip to California in 1966 when I was 8 years old and it still seems that I am looking out the window with those 8 year old eyes, filled with amazement at the colors and shapes of mother earth. Om Pachamama Om...
and thank you All for your friendship and Love
I'm grateful that you are in my life
Thomas
