“You can’t divide the country up into sections and have one rule for one section
and one rule for another, and you can’t encourage people’s prejudices.
You have to appeal to people’s best instincts, not their worst ones.
You may win an election or so by doing the other,
but it does a lot of harm to the country.”
The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels

Desert-mystic-sound
Echoing off mountain rocks —
Big boulders by name.
Where ancient drums beat
To the rhythm of the hiker’s heart —
Magic in each step.
Singin’ to yourself
On the pathway to glory —
Downhill all the way.

Green Mountain Blues
Today I heard the Burro Fire
is burning near the
Green Mountain Trail,
one of many beautiful trails
in the Santa Catalina Mountains.
The trail begins in a
lush and green forest
ponderosa pines,
Douglas firs and sloping
rock formations leading
to the top of Green Mountain.
Soon the forest changes
to oaks and manzanitas
allowing for spectacular
panoramic views of the
San Pedro River Valley
to the northeast.
(The direction of the Burro Fire.)
Unless your feet carry you
it’s not likely most people
will every see these
Sky Island vistas hidden
from the mainstream of people
driving Catalina Highway.
Today I sit at my computer
going through blog posting
of hiking the Green Mountain trail
hoping firefighters will contain
the Burro Fire before it
destroys Green Mountain.
In each of the many photos
I have taken I feel the mountain
and listen to myself
trying to put feeling into words,
which I say without listening
then I hear it without saying.
The images I possess
have recorded what was
in time will recapture
new vistas open for view
through nature’s door
hinged in the air.
