White Sands, NM - 01.07.22

Gypsum sand dunes.  Damnnnnn… you are so cool planet earth.  Let’s hang out all of the time.  Start a motorcycle gang… get matching leather jackets… make up our own rules… live life on our terms.  And SteveMcQueen jump our motorbikes over all’thee fences.  All day and everyday!!!

From a horse trailer loading parking lot I hiked West for an hour and half and then finally rested at the top of a sand dune - I saw no more footprints.  Big feels.  This place hit me deep in my ultramarine blue chakra - wherever that is… just

I did ping my location at the start so I managed to find my way back.  Thank you Google maps.

I passed Las Cruces on the way and way back.  It’s one small centimeter away from Mexico1.0 on the map.  Less than an hour drive.  I began to contemplate.  “Shit, I left my passport in the apartment.  I have my passport card… that’ll work.  Oh man, I left my snack box behind.  Out!!!!”  Otra día, Mexico1.0.  

Plus, I have an important appointment to keep in T or C.  And there’s some people in the capital of Mexico2.0 that I want to see sooner than later.  Annnd my P.O. Box in Ohkay Owingeh has my micro-spikes waiting because Epstein was so kind as to ship them down.  Okay then… Two more stops and start heading North.

Because sometimes I assume everyone has seen the same movies as me.
