Hunting camp in the vast Wild Horse Mountains of West Texas.......I've walked miles and miles out here and the shear immensity of how it feels has never gone away.....even months later when back in the city spinning plates at work....

'Spinning plates'? Meaning?

The desert terrain you show... Looks different from the sonoran or chihuahuan desert types I've been in, in Arizona and New Mexico - not much cactus like sonoran nor the kinds of trees you see in chihahuan. What do the animals feed on there?... probably those spare, low shrubs.

Spinning plates.....meaning busy and juggling a lotta different things......this expression goes back to the 1960's Ed Sullivan show....there was a performer on there who had a bunch of poles with dinner plates on the top and he'd run back and forth like crazy shaking the poles and keeping plates spinning on top so they didn't fall off.....hence the term.."plate spinning"
You can actaully find old black and white videos of the plate spinner and Ed Sullivan show on YouTube

The critters in that area eat a number of things.....there is a low dagger looking cactus called lechuguilla..the deer will paw the spines down and eat the center out of it....it also has a fair amount of water inside.....they will also eat the sotol that grows in that area
That low yellowish bush is called "greasewood" they smell a bit like creosote. ....the deer will eat it if they get hungry enough. ....it makes there meat taste like ****

Forts, graveyards, etc.

I like forests, mountains, anywhere where I can get away from people. Most people annoy me. Too me-me-me, now-now-now always seeking immediate gratification in whatever form it comes & screw everyone else.


And though religion isn't important to family, no not new agers just too educated / well travelled to be sucked into the hype [my father's mother attended a church where the "good people" were so desperate to leave they'd nearly run another over in the parking lot after session]. Wasn't even baptised.

And yet I like churches. No not the widely used ones. I like the older ones, the ill used, the ones sold as museums, etc. or abandoned. New or overly used churches well they "stink" - too much residual energy from people. The spiritual centers friends have dragged me to, I've found they "stink" worse.

I prefer quiet.


There was, when I was younger, an old stone church in my region. Used to be a massive thing. Like the old English 1600s churches, same design. It burnt twice & then the lack of funds meant it had been abandoned for a near on century.

I remember driving by & stopping one day. Parked the car in the overgrown lot, picked my way through the debris, and went inside. There wasn't much left. The windows had long since been blown out, the roof was long gone. Really all there was the walls, the pitted floor, and a few broken & charred pews. Rat droppings & the remains of some bird's nest.

Sat down on the raised steps, were the priest's podium would be, for about an hour. Trying to imagine how a place that had stood for 300 years, had overseen countless generations in the neighboring area, had just been abandoned.

Spent three hours there. Tried to clean up a bit. The energy well surreal is the only word that comes to mind. Serene doesn't do it justice. I think the place liked that someone still had a care beyond themselves.


As I said, I'm not religious. Have no patience for it. Never have, never will. But there's a hill bluff, leading into the mountains, that overlooks the town and from there you can see this old church. When the city tore the church down three years later I watched from that bluff & well, yeah I'll admit it, cried.

And in writing this I am glad my roommate is out so she can't ask me why I am sitting on the computer all teary eyed.


But the destruction of that church was a not so subtle reminder of something I had long since decided about the human species. Such a concept isn't flattering if one can't guess so I won't be repeating it.

Man I feel like I could've written this post! I can relate to a lot of it. I do have a problem with storefronts becoming churches while giant, beautiful churches sit to fall apart in big cities. One of my favorite abandoned churches is the Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana. But yes there are so many, it's a shame.
