Driving to Telluride 5 days a week is a pleasure. Right now, watching the leaves change, wondering if there will be a dusting of snow waiting on the mountains, gliding up the aspen laced highway, it gives me time to breathe and reflect. Ahhhh

Dallas Divide can be treacherous but on most days it is spectacular.
Every year I attend Walking Words, usually with a gaggle of girlfriends.
It is put on Telluride Writers Guild. It's a progressive dinner with poets, fiction, and non-fiction writer's and great food. It is one of my favorite events!
This year Stewart Warren is the featured poet.
I am positively giddy.
I really love his stuff. He's a Colorado writer who I have had the pleasure of meeting several times. He can always be counted on for a fresh and unique perspective. His images are grounded in the grit of the small western towns we both know and love, all the while elevating rural life into universal truth and beauty in a mad poetic pop.

Reading "Raw"
from Second Light sends a soul pang that is an addictive ache...I wanted more.

In Shape of a Hill "The color of flags" haunts me like my own western childhood. It's a love letter to life with out a trace of sentimentality. How does he do that?
This was the depot before Ah haa (and other's- like restaurants)
began using it as an arts center.
Stewart and the other writer's will teach workshops here on Saturday.
