i’m in santa fe, by myself, outdoors, it’s cold, drinking coffee with mexican chili chocolate - just watching the world go by. i’ve taken a run in the snow on a red dirt trail and watched the sun rise. i’ve already visited the folk art museum to see handicrafts by people around the world and be filled with inspiration. i’m going to see beautiful things in galleries this day, eat small snacks, buy a powerball ticket with some lucky numbers and drive home through taos to stop at el taoseno for sopapillas. can 36 hours restore a person? yes.
