Montezuma Castle Park
Took a trip up there recently and was blown away by the designs of this place. Built around the 1100-1400 AD by the Sinagua people.

With the end of Wings, his Marijuana arrest, and John Lennon being murdered in 1980. It was clear that McCartney needed a fresh start.

About 5 years ago, I began to develop more of a passion for it and had wanted to pursue it more.

Who am I?
A nice poem from the late Carl Sandburg My head knocks against the stars.My feet are on the hilltops.My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.I have been to hell and back many times.I knowContinue reading “Who am I?”
