The Sweet Return
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What is the most precious, the most exciting smell
awaiting you in the house when you return to it after
a dozen years or so? The smell of roses, you think?
No, mouldering books.”
~~~~~Andrei Sinyavsky

“There is nothing like returning to a place that
reminds unchanged to find the ways in which
you yourself have altered.”
~~~~~Nelson Mandela

It was nice to be away for a while, but
I missed New Mexico. I am so proud to
live in such a beautiful state filled with
culture and rich history. The journey was
nice—still the return is just as sweet!
