Valley of Fire, A Memory, poem by VelvetSky + art

Karin, just sent a little something to you via email, for your blog. This morning I was thinking of my first trip to the desert in Nevada last year, so I was inspired to write about it.

I’m so sorry it took me so long…life has been hectic! Hope you enjoy,

Mary

Valley of Fire, A Memory

My eyes,
So accustomed to grass,
trees, water, green on blue.
Looked out
On earth the shade of ochre,
sagebrush and twisted life.
The smell
Of salt, rain and flowers,
The lush and damp of home.
The wind
Now carries the scent of
Rock, iron, pinon, sun.
I lift my head and thank
the Mother Goddess for
Her gift.

Mary aka VelvetSky

US National Parks

I found this video last night about the US National Parks. There are some wonderful images here. Each park that is included has a picture. It makes me want to make it a goal to see all of the parks. I’ve seen many of them, but not all, by any means.

There is also a message about supporting the troops. I do not know anything about this man’s experiences, but I’m guessing he must be a vet.

Enjoy!

Karin
