‘It’s rattlesnake season,’ the woman rescuing us said, as she and her golden retriever led the way back over the red rocks, through the juniper trees, sweetly scented sage bushes and tangled yews to the Sedona trail head where we had parked our car a couple of hours earlier.

A Love Affair
My love affair with the red rock, big sky country of the South West started in 1996 on a family vacation.

The Isle of Avalon
What do you think the heart chakra of the world might feel like? Tender, warm, comforting? Volatile, passionate, wild? Strong, steady, powerful? At first I couldn’t feel anything.
