"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

On the other hand
My yoga instructor is a (real not wannabe) cowgirl. Her bumper:
Stephen, I've wandered over here from Gerard's. I don't know if you're aware of this, but I believe William F. Buckley's yacht was named Querencia. The explanation I recall is that it was the portion of the bull fighting ring staked out by the bull as his comfort zone.
BTW, You MUST be a Guy Clark fan. If not, why not?
I did know that. The late Betsy Huntington, (along with New Mexico the subject of my book Querencia, for which the blog is named), was a fan of his sailing books, and the epigraph of the book is from WFB, saying what you just did. That safety is illusory as well as the necessity of a "heart's home" are two themes I am attracted to...
HUGE Guy Clark fan since the old days--first I heard him was around "Rita Ballou", and one of my favorites of all time is Dublin Blues.

Nice sentiment. That looks like a NMMI sticker elsewhere on the bumper. Long time since I've seen one of those.
ReplyDeleteYep-- meant to say also a Yoga instructor whose kid goes to NM Military Institute in Roswell.
