my rough and rowdy ways
Well, after spending most of the month of March looking at photos of California, let’s kick off April back in Texas!
On a cold and windy Sunday, my friend Heidi and I discovered a cemetery called Saint Rest; there weren’t many marked graves there. So maybe there aren’t that many saints? Or that many dead ones, at any rate?

Of course, when this town was settled and named Mecca, it was a name with great connotations, with grand visions of a beautiful life beside a thriving inland sea.
Now it seems sort of an ironic name.
But there ARE lots and lots of lots for sale.

And you’re limned
In light, golden and thin
(A pair of lines from Bruce Cockburn’s lovely song “Look How Far” seem particularly relevant here.)
