Awakened before dawn. Birds do greet the first sign of light, quietly, reverently. Hiked Chapel at the Cross on Chapel Road from 8 until 1145 AM. It was a qigong / yoga / meditation opportunity with Blair and a mother/daughter from New Jersey. Yogi Blair as he is referred on TravelAdvisor with 5 stars from all who have hiked with him, including me. A very good soul.

Qigong is always fun to revisit. My practice alone is very limited. Perhaps in Santa Fe I'll locate Jamie of the Bagua tradition and learn if he has a group.

Red strands from these blooms captivated me. The flower was on a large shrubby tree. Exceeded my 5'7". And they weren't tenuous threads so much as they were red bursts. Antennae to the sky!

Ciao and my the vortex of good find you.
