Ten Commandments for reading mythology
2. Read myths in the present tense: Eternity is now
~ Joseph Campbell

It's amazing to me how the divine is everywhere. In the 80-pound bale of hay you lug to the horse feeder. Baling twine. Dirt. The barn cat's meowling. Hummingbirds. A blue heeler dog's wagging stub tail. Cottonwood trees. Hungry horses. A New Mexico sunrise.

We're trail riding today. I'm chomping at the bit to go here. (I can hear it now— my husband gritching at me, "Kimberly, you don't tell everyone in the world where your favorite hunting spot is, for crying out loud!"). But it's above 12,000 feet, and we're concerned there still might be some snow on the trail. We'll stick to the lower elevations for now.

Today will be an adventure. Maybe I'll see you there!
