Unbearable Lightness of Being

A fav pleasure is browsing the FOR SALE books at libraries and thrift stores. I'm not much given to fiction but his syntax drew me in. Plus, there's an astounding amount of philosophizing. 

Didjuh hear the rumor that C.G. Jung coined the term synchronicity? It's been an integral in my life.

 

Taking In the Sights - Taos

After a day of rest, feeding, rest and more feeding we were restored.

We started with Taos Gems & Mineral where Titus the Ancient (rescue pug) took extreme umbrage at the Old Dominion delivery driver. To add insult to injury, he had to endure being (lovingly) restrained.

Next came Cici's Coffee. Named for his daughter, they use Taos Roasters coffee which gave the third (count 'em on one hand) most superb Shot-In-The-Dark I've had in all my years of travel. You can juuuuust make out their tri-level, cream-colored shingle through the arch-entrance to the John Dunn House shops.

Then on to Hooked On Books where Sammie the Cat reigns.

and Linda, Sammie's staff, searched through the Womens' section to see if there was anything by Mlle Anand and I found a signed copy of Psychology of the Future by Stanislov Grof.


Thinking the rains might've sprouted some shrooms, we followed the road out of Arroyo Seco to its end. No shrooms, but a lovely walk amongst some large ponderosas (only barely rivaled by my girth).

No trip to the north is complete without seeing The Gorge. We arrived, as usual, just in time.

A SPLENDID trip!!!
