Beauty and the Brawl

Curtis and I heard people shouting outside our room at the Ruby Hill Motel.  It was a commotion alright.  We opened the door to view a genuine fight—two men rolling on the grass, attempting some head and arm locks.  Some kids and adults were circled around.  Lola, the motel owner, told me later, after the break-up, that the brawl was over the custody of a child.  The biological dad was trying to take away the child when the adopted father resisted.  Lola says, “They are like family, from Mexico.”  Quite the scene!

Fortunately, the police station is across the street and some level of shanti (peace) was achieved.  The real peace is on the road, while walking.  It was a day of showers coming down in areas looking like angel hair and then evolving as if jelly fish.  Clouds rolled by and in diverse hues.  Rainbow arches appeared at varying times of the day and the sun was playing the game of hide-and-seek with those clouds.

At the Senior Centre I spoke about our purpose.  A nice place.  People were eating while I was speaking—a casual atmosphere.  We met Paul who said his dad was the producer of the iconic TV show “Let’s Make A Deal.”  All four of our team had a table to sit at with occupants.  It was just great being with these down-home people.  Of course, we had to speak a bit slower and louder than usual, considering they are seniors.

The day was magical in Eureka and beyond and every time a fresh shower would come it left an aroma of strong natural tea—emissions from the sage and rabbit brush. https://youtu.be/oek5BAmKd4w

May the Source be with you!
