Another high plains sunset is minutes away. Clouds in the western skies take on mystical shapes reminiscent of a roadrunner--our State bird. They ushers in the evening fires over tablelands strewn with prickly pear cactus and cholla. I turn eastward and take a few moments to relish the comforting, mellow hues of night unfolding across the prairie. The Texas Panhandle border lies at the horizon.
Bury my heart in New Mexico. I love this land of enchanted vistas, our mixing bowl of cultures, our tenacious people, our vibrant art and our future of endless possibilities. In the language of the ancient Diné people, AhóÁ to the Land of Enchantment!
