You don’t stumble upon your heritage. It’s there, just waiting to be explored and shared. –Robbie Robertson

Every time I had the chance, I would open my mom’s old cedar chest and pull out her childhood photo albums. They were filled with pictures of people that I had never met; uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. Every picture seemed so intentional. Every person was always dressed for the occasion, smiling at the camera, and gladly preserving a moment in time. (When you don’t have the luxury of taking a thousand Read More

Sickly Coyote Survives Winter Appearing Healthier

by

This coyote spotted today along the edge of Pueblo Canyon survived the mild winter and appears much healthier than in December when she was severely underweight and missing most of her fur. Chairman James Robinson of the Land of Enchantment Wildlife Foundation has been keeping an eye on her and under the right circumstances intends to entice her to eat a pill to cure her mange. He recently imbedded a pill in a chicken breast and said she was sniffing it and likely about to devour it when two ravens swooped down and snatched it away from her. Photo by Carol A.

Fr. Glenn: Crying ‘Havoc!’

“Doing something is at least better than doing nothing at all!” Well … not necessarily. At least, not the first thing that comes to mind without due consideration.

I always enjoy the 1995 movie “Apollo 13”, and one of the wisest lines in the movie is: “Quiet down! Quiet down! Let’s stay cool, people… Let’s work the problem … Let’s not make things worse by guessing!” Certainly anyone who has worked in engineering (or plumbing!) knows the wisdom of THAT statement. Even with well-considered actions, we’re often victim to Read More

Of course, the news was filled the whole latter part of last week with the various reports of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, touching off yet again the guns vs no-guns debate. But … the root cause(s) of the problem? That is the question. Is it guns themselves? They simply seem to be tools manifesting a larger problem. Societal division? Video games and violence-promoting music? Drugs? “Toxic” masculinity? One or more of the host of other theories that have been forwarded?

The list goes on endlessly in
