flag day

Maybe you’re wondering if I am *still* showing Pride photos.

Yes. Yes, I am.

And there are still more on the way.

the end of all

 

Two years ago, I attended Bruce Cockburn concert in this very room.

The very last song he played was the hauntingly beautiful instrumental piece ‘The End of All Rivers.” It was emotional: I was pretty sure it was the last time I would get to see him perform. I cried during the song.

And then, as the last notes faded away there was a tiny, crystal moment of silence in the room and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in reflecting on his music and how it’s touched my soul.

So when I went back into the room, empty now except for those memories, it was almost like that crystal silence was still there, waiting for me to return.

yes, that oppenheimer

 

109 East Palace Street – this very building – played a role in the top secret stuff that was going on up the hill in Los Alamos.

Here’s what Atlas Obscura has to say about it:

WHEN YOU NEED TO BE dropped off at a top-secret research facility that does not exist, what address do you give the driver? For two decades, that address was 109 East Palace in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Located a few blocks from Santa Fe’s city center, the unremarkable building served as the first stop for Richard Feynman, Enrico Fermi, Robert Oppenheimer, and innumerable other scientists working on the top-secret Manhattan Project in nearby Los Alamos. Dozens of scientists, technicians, and other workers would arrive each day to be ferried up to “the Hill” where work on the atomic bomb (and possibly other secret science projects) actually took place.

a tender gesture

Such a sweet and innocent gesture, and it made me have all the feelings. All of them.

proud to be there

Maybe I’ve mentioned (endlessly) my new-found love of street photography?

My photographer friend and I happened to be in Santa Fe the other weekend and saw the Pride parade and other activities.

Look at all those smiling faces! What an event: we are so glad we went.
