One week after copious rains douse the arid Llano Estacado plateau numerous playa lakes still brim with the precious gift bestowed by thunderstorms. In the ordered confusion of prairie florae revival the golden melodies of yucca flowers reign supreme. The first hints of spine-fortified cactus roses join grasses and wildflowers in the the scramble for sunlight and sustenance from Mother Earth. Come walk a mile in my shoes. The natural world most certainly nurtures the primal threads that bind us to one another and illuminate our essence.
