Driving away from Kris and John’s, I think about friendship. The people we lose track of over time. The
opportunities for conversations that we miss by letting the distance grow. This trip has brought me closer to so many
people. People miles away that I have
not seen in years, people online for whom I have let time be the distance.
I make a quiet promise to myself to do better.
We merge on to West Interstate 40 excited to back on the
road but sad to be leaving New Mexico.
We were won over by the haunting beauty of this state, its people and
history.
Today takes us across northwest New Mexico and Northern
Arizona. We tip our hats as we cross
the Rio Grande for the final time this trip. We see the familiar landscape of vast flat land abruptly enhanced with large rock cliffs exposing the sediment layers, sometimes at angles pointing to the sky.
Again we see signs of past volcanic activity. Volcanoes have been part of the landscape in
this state for ‘billions’ of years.
Hmmmm, for the second time already today I feel small.
P.S - Happy Birthday, Miss Breanna! We love you, our little princess. <3 <3 <3
