Cold morning, beautiful day






It was COLD yesterday morning, as the ice on the plants under the sprinklers shows! However, the early morning light at Ghost Ranch reveals a landscape that is awesome ... literally.

Chimney Rock (the Chama Valley one, not the one on the way to Shiprock or the one near Pagosa Springs) was beautifully illumined in the clear air, as were the promontories surrounding Ghost Ranch.

Going up today's pics from the bottom, the golden light also brought out the colors on the Ghost Ranch "horse," an art project that was similar to the "pumas" we had in SW Colorado a couple of years ago.

Our theme this year is "Compassionate Listening," with a keynote address yesterday morning by Leah Green, head of the Compassionate Listening Project, and an interest group yesterday afternoon on the same subject. I have to ponder on whether compassionate listening techniques could be used among the political and sectarian parties in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

In any case, the "Eyes Wide Open" exhibit of boots and shoes representing American military and Iraqi civilians killed in this endless war makes you wish people could find a better way ... beginning years ago. tv
