the Mojave is Geta

[jcomer2001]

Courtship Rite: you and I up the switchbacks of the holy mountain, profane vegetation thinning around us, from where it bunches along the half-frozen streambed, shirrupping insects making the most of the short winter day, the sun going behind the crest of the pass, pressing our faces to the trunks of the almost trees for their spicy-bitter scent. We glimpse the peaks beyond the pass, the wilderness of saline lakes and glaciers miles above the seaport where we began.
We glance at each other, shrug. Far enough we've come. To see the last light of day fade over the crest would be worth the climb. We press on.

Okay, you weren't really with me, and Kearsarge Pass is really on Earth, but still, you should have been there.

Yes -- I wish I had been! Thank you for the 'memory'.....

geta: more than a clog shoe

Another time. I'll visit SF over the January break.
Perhaps a profane cup of tea then?

Sounds lovely -- I look forward to it!

Geta Life

Let me get back from Virginia. I'll come up and visit northern California friends, and maybe visit the Sierra Nevada too.

So when are you coming to SF? Or have you already been? Looking forward to that cup of tea!
