You, Me, and a Manatee
08/17/21 • 7 min
Have you ever had a brush with fame? At the airport, at a restaurant, on the streets of New York or LA? It's one thing to see a celebrity on television or in a movie. And I think most of us would agree that it's yet another, even better thing to attend a live taping, movie shoot, or concert. But if you've ever had that "brush with fame" in your daily life, you know that experience is in a category of its own. Now imagine you happen to run across that same person and instead of walking away, they come over and strike up a conversation with you and then ask you to rub their back. Well, that's basically what happened here. Only the airport was a Florida spring head and the rock star was a vegetarian with flippers.

Be the River: Where Water Flows, Life Grows
We had been driving across the flat, nearly featureless terrain for a couple of hours, and there was nary a tree for as far as we could see. This landscape had a unique, stark sort of beauty, but it's nearly impossible not to feel a little exposed in the presence of that vastness. We then descended from the mesa and into the Pecos River Valley just outside of Roswell, and immediately into what seemed to be an entirely different world as the flat earth gave way to a twisting, tree-lined river valley. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a shroud of green.
