Free Spirit

I rode Libby's baby blue Free Spirit around Austin. Two big biking days (15+ miles altogether) here are my routes thanks to Google pedometer and Libby who showed me this tool. Hyde Park route and Downtown/So Austin route

Jemez Springs Friends

Our friends Rich and Ella run the Vista Linda campground in Jemez Springs. Nan and I first met them when we camped at Vista Linda in 2003. No camping on this trip, but we met up with Rich and Ella at Los Ojos and had steak dinners. We stopped by Vista Linda the next day for cake and that special Vista Linda water....

Try to love the questions themselves

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
