Rain, cold fronts and the unexpected hurricane always show up in August and September. For the longest time, I had not seen lighting. I had not felt my legs hurt with a change of winds. More changes are coming in the next days that will be a relieve from the horrible heat we have right now but I know I will miss it once its gone.
The mesquite trees are the only ones that do not get affected by any change. They stay green throughout the whole entire year. Everything else dries easily here because of the heat or cold weather. There are times that I hear people say how they wish the valley would change colors...the leaves fall and become all white. There is no change here and I wonder if this is a good or bad. I wonder if the young prefer change and the old prefer stability.
The Rio Grande Bravo has changed in the course of years. People say it was prettier back then when the water was cleaner. I still say its a marvelous monster that makes you feel tiny and consumes your life for a moment. We might have changed it but I wonder when it will change us because after all we cannot control it and never will. We might use it to our advantage but once it gives up on us what will it do to humanity?
