Snow At Windy Point Vista, Tucson, Arizona — Photo-Artistry by kenne
When I think of the historical Christ, I think of courage:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

“Cliff Palace” Mesa Verde National Park Image by kenne
The establishment of the National Park Service is justified by considerations
of good administration, of the value of natural beauty as a National asset,
and of the effectiveness of outdoor life and recreation in the production of good citizenship.

High In The Canyon — Images by kenne
High in the canyon
stands the fool on the hill
Watching the setting sun,
while chanting the reflection –
“Use me while you can,
for if you but blink,
I will be gone
no more on this watch.”
Paraphrasing a Theodore Roosevelt quote:
I do not believe
there ever was any life
more attractive
to an active older man
than life in the canyon.
It is a fine, healthy life, too;
opening new doors —
enjoying life to its fullest,
moment by moment.

Ruins of the Franciscan church at Mission San José de Tumacácori — Images by kenne
Last Wednesday we went to Nogales, Sonora and Patagonia and Sonoita in southern Arizona. Along the way, we visited the Mission San José de Tumacácori. Father Eusebio Francisco Kino established the mission in January, 1692. Originally called San Cayetano de Tumacácori, the mission was established at an existing native O’odham or Sobaipuri settlement on the east side of the river. After the Pima rebellion of 1751, the mission was moved to the present site on the west side of the Santa Cruz river and renamed San José de Tumacácori. Preservation and stabilization efforts began in 1908 when the area was declared a National Monument by President Theodore Roosevelt and continue today.
