I don't even know how long I've been in Taos - at this point - hard
to remember where I've slept the night before last - this town has
sucked me up again and I think I'm loving it - remember: when you're
living out of your car try not to let it blow-up....again
yep my
car has been 86ed again - and it got towed out to Two Peaks - the land
of Mad Max - Stella and her baby son Aspen drove me out there to pick
up all my belongings - oh and Paper came along for "the adventure" -
she hadn't ever been out to Two Peaks before and for that matter I
really hadn't ever seen it in the day time - trailers and half built
homes - and every once in awhile a solar panel and a nice stack of wood
ready for the winter - small gardens growing amongst the sage and goats
wandering through the wreckage of dozens of cars that litter most
properties - prayer flags - and big wooden signs painted with symbols
and people's names - we found the place where my car was sent - and
Elf, the care taker was on his way out - pack on his back - big tall
walking stick - we waved - and he walked on - I turned a few moments
later - but he'd somehow disappeared into the mesa - on the way back
out we found Judd's land and Vanes' trailer - Maddy her baby standing
in the doorway - saying mama and we let the two babies play in the dirt
- as we sat around a table and scoped the view - catchment pots and
bowls littered the ground and Judd showed me the devil weed that took
over everything - the sky looked like marble and a huge bull blocked
the road for a few minutes - we got back to town and I don't know if
I'll ever see my car again - I think I will - but out here - in the
land of enchantment - Elf walks in out of view and so does certainty
