We as Humans...


WELCOME TO WEST COLORADO! Jenna and I went to hike at Horsetooth Reservoir, and as you can see it was SO much more than that! According to Native American legend, Horsetooth Rock in Fort Collins, CO, is not a rock at all, but the heart-turned-to-stone of a great warrior (Red Feather) slain by a slightly greater warrior (Black Feather) during a fierce battle.(pictured here on the left) On our perilous pilgrimage to
Horsetooth Falls, we battled poisonous snakes and saw all sorts of odd specimens of human life. Watch the video to see what happened!


In Nederland, CO at some Rock Store...it was crazy incredible! We were in shorts and t-shirts, and Jenna and Pouria have just informed me that it is now nesteled beneath 16" of snow. We spent the day with Pouria's friend Mira and her boyfriend. She was incredibly sweet and such a lovely person!The water was FREEEEEEZING!! But we survived with smilesPouria 's idea of "bouldering" ::chuckles:: apparently we have two different definitions of this adverb...Mira's boyfriend and I raced up a boulder...and that was great fun!I regret that we did not summit...That evening we went to a play called THE BLIND...excellent story, and apparently very dear to Pouria's heart.This is Mira and her boyfriend in line for The Blind. During the actual performance, the little wood spirits kept coming up to me and blowing on my face. I think they were conspiring from the time they sat us in our seats...they had it out for me from the beginning! We did have a few stare-down competitions during the actual performance, but no one really "won". I just held my breath and slowly turned my head to face them as they blew in my face... And they lived happily ever after...THE end!



I'm back in Tennessee now. I have to say that I was very inspired there...something in the air was amazing and drawing. I wrote poetry, began short-stories, wrote many things in my journal and had such a peaceful time with my dear family there.

Peace...
