Sleep Denied

Another night I wanted to go to bed early; another night restlessly spent trying to relax. What a contradiction. The wheels spinning; none of the gears attached. I might not have gotten anything done tonight, but I could at least have slept. I look at that as expendable, I guess. But to sleep I will go now.

Today was a lovely day, in many ways. Abby and I went out to the Galisteo Basin Preserve. I had never been there before. And I guess I have not been out hiking in a while, or maybe it really is someplace extraordinary, but I was really impressed with it. I got sucked in by the beauty. No rivers or dramatic cliffs or geysirs to speak of; just normal New Mexican landscape, with junipers and arroyos and chamisa. But it all came together for me. Nice.

I'm going to have a good tomorrow.

Good night, all.
