May your trails be crooked,
winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains rise
into and above the clouds.

La Milagrosa Trail (December 5, 20014) — Panorama Image by kenne
Somewhere between
the La Milagrosa
and Agua Caliente Canyons,
we take turns guiding hikers
through beautiful desert vistas
screaming at our eyes.
The desert trail
and canyon walls
graced with deeper colors
after yesterday’s rains
and the Christmas green
of the resurrection plants.
The Sonoran desert,
a piñata filled with
surprises and gifts —
I’m not blind to the worth
of nature’s gifts
invoking my soul.
