Greetings from the high desert! (Where?)

WAYS TO WALK IN THE DESERT

The old mining road
The burro trail
Meandering cross country
Studying rocks
Collecting rusty cans
and weathered glass
Picking up trash
Visiting sentinel art
Avoiding wind or sun
Watching out for cacti
Going uphill
Boulder hopping

Empty of thoughts
Every step felt
by the soles of your feet
Vigilant for snakes
Avoiding the sight
of human habitation
Observing birds
Intoxicated by flowers
Taking pictures
Making holy places
Imagining a poem
