I miss my desert holiday, so let's go back for a minute. From my diary, last month:
Today we visited a vortex in Sedona. It's important when identifying vortexes, proclaiming them, to have a bald patch of earth or rock, a space where nothing is immediately elevated above the body. This is what I learned today. A vortex is an opening, preferably someplace high and empty, energy in spareness.
In this country, lost in its rock formations, mountains of disorienting proportion, I
find limitations in language. Shades of earth, heights and expanses,
the scale of light and dark, this is all too exquisite and refined for
my own expression. In the same way the Eskimos have a hundred words for
snow, the desert must have a hundred words each for red, rock, sand,
bone.
