Hey glad to hear it, maybe your spritual excursions could teach you
to be more humble, and less boastful paying more attention to the true
value of the experience. Selfgratification is not the leason to be 
learned, and certainly not anything to be proud of. One day perhaps I
will wander north over the ridge to see what the Mescalero shammans
might be into, but I tend to respect their privacy, religion, and
lifestyle too much to act like all the other Whitemen have in the
past. I would perfer to be invited, because I have shown myself worthy
of the experience, and understanding of the world I would be entering.

Everyday I hear the egale soar south over the ridge, circling over
head, sometimes he speaks, sometimes he simply makes a motion that
seems to warn the I may not be prepared a the time to make the journey
as yet. Other times he warns me to beware of events about to happen,
almost as if to be protecting me. He knows I've made the journey in the
past, but these days I tend to journey without the help of anything
except my mind and experiences. God! New Mexico is the land of
enchantment, this is why I forgo all the pleasures others thrive on
out there in the other world, so I might appreciate true enchantment.

Thank goodness! I've always tried not to think like anyone else,
wouldn't want to.
