		<description><![CDATA[This morning I listened intently to whistling robins. They were chirping and cheering with an early morning joy. The lovely noise filled me with a bright primordial bliss. There&#8217;s a storm rolling in from the desert. The whirling gusts of cold shifting air whip the Ponderosa trees in the yard. The past three days the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a real virtue to remain calm when storms unfold. As you think you are getting old now, just keep advancing forward through different levels of maturity. Then you will look back and realize your own immaturities. You will see that wisdom and love are not derived from arrogance or selfishness. Peace and solitude [...]]]></description>

I drive a small vehicle down the back roads and dirt roads of a big sky desert. My time is short [...]]]></description>

My perception of the world has morphed completely and I&#8217;ve come to realize the most spectacular beauty in this world is the Mystery. Allowing things to be dictated [...]]]></description>

Every road follows a string of power lines. Every sunset is filled with airplane exhaust trails. There is a rooster tail of dirt behind my wheels and I watch the [...]]]></description>

Time to go to Cal&#8217;s ranch with my next paycheck and get me a Carhartt jacket for the winter snow and muck. The Colorado Plateau has some of [...]]]></description>

Lightning exited a massive thunderhead that lead other cloud soldiers. Trees were bending and swaying to the relentless gusts that brought fine sediments in from the bone-dry Great Basin.
