    … this scene exists, but other than in the Painted Desert I have no idea where … I flew over an interesting earthscape, kicked the plane over in a steep bank and shot pretty much straight down righted the plane and continued on my way and I like it … hope you do too. This is an amazing little planet we live on … wonder what this scene will look like in another thousand years or so … perhaps it will be covered in ice and snow; there once was a lot of water here.

    A different day today with an early morning flight over to Prescott to get the transponder re-certified and then on the way back I was thinking of heading up to the peaks and back out over the Painted Desert, but as I climbed out of Prescott I began to wonder and on the way to 15,500’ it was apparent that the air quality was such that it would be a monumental waste of time as a smokey haze blanketed the earth as far as I could see in any direction. I quit the climb at 12,000’ over Mingus, killed the engine and had a nice sled ride back into Sedona; didn’t take a single photo either. Every forest has the goal to get the smoke up and out of their local area and sometimes it actually happens, but then there are other forest districts that do the same thing and eventually everyone is dumping their smoke on everyone and it is hard to source it.

    A quiet day coming up tomorrow; just going to be hanging around here and cutting and working on images.  Quiet days are good once in a while.

    Have a good day today, be kind to those you meet and greet even though they may not have voted the same way as you … life is good as are most people.

    Cheers

    At nightfall…though I know I shall sometime no more
    Open my eyes to the light or day, I am one who looks at stars when
    Unchained from the work-bench at Nightfall.
    They are a sign that I am not ephemeral,
    Not you, nor you, whoever you are.
    The dawn comes and the dark and the sign sparkling in the brooding night,
    Forever and forever.
    — Max Ehrmann

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
