“Earth, Sky and Tumacácori” — Image by kenne
A priestly man
once traveled
the desert southwest
mounted a horse
armed only with love
a force without
a presidio of soldiers
connecting with people
of many tribes
building adobe missions
each opened to the morning sun
located within walking distance
understanding the desert paradox.

Your poem is beautiful and captures the essential soul of our beloved Padre Kino. Thank you Keene.
