Warmer this morning. 2 degrees. A heat wave. Still, a fire required to ensure suitable coziness.
This day I'm thinking about a conversation I had at a gallery in Santa Fe. The owner was speaking about the work of Jean-Claude Gaugy. Specifically his "The Awakening" project. This is a monumental project consisting if 400 40' x 400' carved wood panels.
You can see a video about "The Awakening" here:

The comment made was "the Holy Spirit is the memory of God inside us. It stays inside us so we don't get lost."
This kind of framed the Holy Spirit for me while giving me something to grab onto so as to not be lost.
Driving across a snow-covered dirt road this morning I could see how one could get lost, both figuratively and in reality. The land stretches endlessly. Twists and turns that can easily confuse one.
The endlessness surrounding me reminded me of the vastness of the world that surrounds me in my tiny place in the world. It's easy to feel lost in both vistas.
But now I have a way of seeing the feeling of being lost in a different light.
Wow! The cold must be really taking it's toll on the Taos area. I imagine you're so looking forward to Thursday when it should reach into the 40's. Keep that fire burning. I would love to "get lost" on those roads. I'm sure I've ventured down some nearby. Always referred to those as "Rick roads" as myself or me with family took the road less traveled. Love the pictures you're posting. Such a familiar landscape. One that we have enjoyed together. Getting "lost" is not always such a bad thing. Leads to a better "being found". As always.............be kind..........
