Thoughts
H
ere we are again, at the start of another new year. One can’t help but have a sense of hope for what these next twelve months will hold. 2013 is an empty canvas, a fresh lump of clay, waiting for us to shade and shape it. Whether or not we see ourselves as artistic, as we live we also create. Our products can grow, penetrate, change minds, reveal smiles, and empower. In this issue, I hope you’ll enjoy the writing and photographs of many local artists. We live in a very talented community. I suspect that arranging words on a page or capturing images is a hobby for most – a passion that doesn’t pay the bills, but is necessary to life nonetheless. I have huge admiration for those that have found a creative outlet, to do what they love, and share a beautiful message. Recently, I re-watched the 1946 movie It’s a Wonderful Life. For some reason, it’s dubbed a Christmas film, but its message applies throughout the year. During the movie, George Bailey comes to realize the value of his life by experiencing a world in which he’d never been born. Everything and everyone is worse off in some way in the existence without George. At one point, his heavenly companion Clarence says, “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” We are given countless opportunities each day to create a better world for others and ourselves. For those of us that have not yet discovered our creative talents, may they rise to the surface and become apparent in all we do and say. May we find opportunities for encouragement, second chances, and selfless acts. In the year ahead, may we all take part in the molding and mending of the world in which we create. H.H.

Poems
A Peaceful Winter’s Night By Evelyn Morris I watch the snow falling softly outside my window, as I sit by the fire all warm and comfortable in my snuggly robe and fluffy slippers. I sip my hot chocolate and watch as the snow gently covers the ground with a blanket of white. The distant city lights give off a glow that makes the snow shimmer in the twilight. It’s such a beautiful sight! Everything is peaceful and calm, and all of your cares and worries seem to just slowly melt away. Enjoy the moment and savor it to its fullest, for the morning will come too soon. A Place for Awareness By Theresa Flores
Untitled By Melissa Levenstein The calm, where the boiling storm ceases its erratic sway. Time enough for one last sigh before the kettle’s tumultuous screech pierces the reluctant day. Competing only with the sharp outcry of the rooster for king of the morning. And the earthquake rush of nagging discontent rages forward. Down and cotton, momentary refuge before guilt forces hands and knees crawling eastward towards the day.

The Southwest is lean with no adipose cushion and hardly any skin or fur. On this fin of sandstone I walk on the bones of the earth, hoping in the thin air to start seeing clearly.
Chocolate By Maggi Van Drunen, age 7 Chocolate is round and it does not make a sound. Chocolate is very sweet it does not smell like feet. When you are meeting a friend, chocolate makes a good greeting. Chocolate spreads smiles in piles for miles. I could eat chocolate for miles in piles. Chocolate is fun in the sun. Chocolate is fun on the run. When I am sleeping, I am seeking chocolate. Chocolate is fun in the rain if you have a cane. Chocolate is fun if you run in the sun. Chocolate is fun at the beach in the reach of the waves. CHOCOLATE.

at sunrise By Billy von Raven deliriously fat, my mind begat a night time of unslumbering histories. sleep could not hold us for too long as corn sheaths fattened under stars & squash blossomed as yellow as dawn. the coffee’s on: one little pot of imperialist plot, a spider’s silk waves in the silvery morning, freer than a flag on the garden pole. no, no, don’t believe what they say about love being safe, being bound with ribbons & rings. no, no, no, love’s not nothing but everything, the endless sob of freedom rushing through the wild valley like the sun moving through sky.

Poems
Crows at the Window By Standing Feather I. The chilly morning and its cold sun would slowly burn its way into the darkened place inside the forest that he longed to be now, to say his prayer, and he would pray and weep and cuss and ask anyone out there who might love him and listen to his human pain to help him release the dead and dying inside him. As a boy he could access these dark hollows anytime, just with his thoughts, and when the chilly winds would blow his father into a rage and gust deep into his mother’s spine and up into her throat and freeze them all away from each other, he would let his mind lose its desire to forge its hopeless patters and visit the hollow and its sun rays that would light up the softness of the pine needles below. The boy was gone now, lost long ago inside the forests of the ancient mothers that protect young boys from the judgments that damn them for acting like little girls, and within the ancient trees they dance and care and offer and serve and love just as before, when the two-spirits were loved by their own brothers. II. The chilly morning rose and the man finished stumbling from his dreams and restless searching into the pale light of his loveless room. The crows at his window cawed to him, and bantered and questioned him about his truth, and what might be underneath all he was willing to see and hear about himself and his own decaying laws. On this morning

he longed to find the hollows of his youth. He wished to wander into the deepest parts of these places, and woke with the vision that they contained all of time and cared for the secrets that kept the hearts of humanity anxious to pump out beats that were losing their time against the rhythms that rise from the deep wells of painless love. III. A Raven watched the man rise up to crest the mesa and move deep within the heart of the wilderness. His grandfather once called to him on a chilly morning and when he arrived the old bird shared that all of the earth’s creatures are bound together, and all of it could be ripped apart if the people wanted to birth away from the circle of her holy bosom. The Raven watched the man descend into that dark place, and remembered his own kin, how the ones who flew with rigidity and thought they were separate from it all had set with yesterdays sinking sun. Some of them died stiffly on the rocks below, had chosen not to take flight within themselves. Some of them were afraid and had removed possibility from themselves and their loveless pain. They crossed into death bound to those rocks and the gravity of their oldness . . . He flexed his legs, and croaked his croak, and spread his wings, and they were the color of the universe. The swirls from the shifting winds lifted him from the edge and down into the heart of the surprised valley. IV. The man was inside himself now. In this deepness, in this utter looking, he began to forgive.
Wear Your Tears Like Diamonds By Melissa R. Dow Wear your tears like diamonds, Don’t be afraid to show your scars. These blisters on your feet might be painful, But they tell where you’ve been so far. Let the pain fall away, Let the tears cry out. This blood you’ve shed will stain the sand, Tears will melt the ground. These scars will be your plow, Those memories will be your grain. With the water from your tears, With the nourishment of your blood, The earth will become like a field of thorns. But then your scars will pave the way. It will tear up old memories, old wounds, and thorns of pain, Then water will come and wash it all away. Then we can plant the seeds for the field. Flowers of new knowledge and forgiveness will sprout and grow green. One day, all the salty tears, and cold murky memories will be clean, Then all the pain will be a memory, And happiness will once again grow. So don’t hide your scars, They’ll mark the path you went and where you go.

Time By Anita Simon There was a time when Papa wrote me long letters hammered out on a manual typewriter with fingers swollen from inflamed tendons essays representing hours of research.
There was a time when the typewriter sat idle. Papa called. Long distance. From across the ocean. Sharing his experiences, his wisdom, Excited to expound a new insight.
There was a time when the phone was quiet. Papa no longer dialed. I had to call him. His answers short. His voice distant. Papa! What is going on? There was . . . no time.

Geronimo By Fallon Blackbull Geronimo was called “Goyathlay” Known as the “One Who Yawns” back in the day.

He killed for revenge and the murder of his wife Geronimo’s life was hard and full of strife.

Geronimo fought until the Cavalry neared He was captured by 500 scouts whom he never feared. Sent to the reservation to live in peace and farm Geronimo fled again because he was to be harmed. His hide-out was safe for almost a year But was breached by Apache scouts, who crept near. Forced to surrender to General George Crook He escaped again without a second look. Geronimo surrendered again to General Nelson Miles Moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma but did not live in style. The government lied and shipped the Apaches away To Florida, they went, where they were to stay. Florida was home for only a year Then, relocated to Mt. Vernon, Alabama, he did not fear. Geronimo, a prisoner of war Died in 1909 . . . an Apache to the core.

If It Takes a Village By RedWulf Dancing Bare In his small village everyone knew everyone if a man fell down, cursing his fate, questioning his lot, in the middle of the road everyone would listen drunk or sober, in tongues or in tears they knew he was talking to God in his small village, the people, their hearts, would be open for the wound and for the wonder in his small village, watching with leopard eyes, there and not the people would sweep their porches and their paths the people would eat their beans and their humanity the people would feed their plants and their dry, barren patches with the community waters for it was for all to use such was their sacred trust of rain and of grief in his small village, when that man or that woman or that child that fell at the people’s feet, at God’s feet pleading for mercy, or sanity, or forgiveness, or love begging for the healing of whatever kept them in pain was spent, wrenched empty, surrendered like a lump of lifeless clay the people would pick them up carry them to the river bathe them with silky yucca root gentle them with calming herbs and oils and caresses swathe them in rabbit pelt swaddling and place them in their clean bed all the while a feast was prepared to honor the sacred communion in his small village, the people were the balm of God the people shared their tears like manna from heaven for each and everyone to be fed and comforted by my small village is no more, he cried his small village, smothered by a landslide while he was away everyone gone the last one left alone to water his own trust I saw him weep in the cold sterile box of t.v. no one left to bathe and swaddle him I felt myself wonder is there any village left to bathe and swaddle me

Thoughts of Eden By Larry Larason 1. Laetoli, Tanzania The family crossed an arid plain, Their footprints pressed into volcanic ash, Preserved for us to find. Would we have thought them merely apes Or recognized ancestors If we had watched them Step, step, stepping off A million years to Eden?

2. Poor Eve, so young and innocent She felt no fear As she watched the snake approach her. Fear she learned after the penalty was clear. She had to learn to live and raise her children In hostile chaos. She spent her days anticipating Always expecting the worst. 3. Was it Death I saw at the window As I rose from you and the bed? Perhaps I only felt his shape On sensitive skin, so seldom exposed. I saw his cold breath lightly stir your undone hair, and then you sighed, went limp for just a moment. That’s when I glimpsed his vacant eyes And felt his cold caress. And that, my love, is why I came again to you, Remembering Eden’s warmth, And pulled the sheet around you.

Navajo Renewal By Jon Marshall early morning road rolled west from the Chuska Mountains stretched along the north wall of Canyon de Chelly coated with fresh snow, even beyond the wings tranquil white blanket no track nor trace from any people blending into a Southwest juniper-pinon landscape I idled to a standstill this tranquil Silence pulled something out of me something distant, forgotten male mule deer stepped from a seamless forest cover stopped, road’s center, stared into my eyes calmly, some minutes, then slowly ambled across disappeared into dense woods no fear wild, free-born existence frigid silence snaked into the waning wake of his tracks
stepped out into that clear day, blue-polished skies Tsaile Butte loomed southeast the Chuskas overwhelmed an eastern view distant Monument Valley rust-red, multi-beige, northward tried to recall what brought me here empty, nada just couldn’t go there anymore flake freshened path to Chinle invited a reborn walkabout new tracks on virgin snow no pack, no weight: everything left behind a renewed journey now toward that place my life stopped many years ago when young, dream-filled, tainted from discolored love as I trod over the silence-sanctioned snow-scape a solitary coyote watched my lonely passing head-tilted, curious sitting at the edge of this vast forest wilderness both of us uncertain how our lives continued from here

The Road By Ethel Mortenson Davis Because this night is so cold and beautiful with a thin-lipped moon just above the horizon, we will walk the road. The road over there that is waiting. The one that climbs up into the Zuni mountains. A man once said that my poems were only scratches on paper. The light is getting late, and the dogs are anxious. The poems are waiting out there in the wildness to say and be, themselves.
Red Rock Meditation By Dwayne Martine I collect shadows as I walk into the twilight ridden piĂąon, lulled into the sky, uncertain, hushed by work strangers each of us hauling armfuls of the quiet like gathered cedar firewood. We climb towering Entrada, red sandstone cliffs near my birthplace,
20 gallupjourney@yahoo.com
along a razor wire fence, carting a backpack of sixers and a liter of Bacardi, up a trail not intended for uninducted visitors, ascending until only gas refinery lights, the risen moon and our closing distances compel us forward. We do not look down because there
is nothing else, gathered around the fire with each other, but this first drink, this last imbibed dark communion to lives lived edge close, burden free, balanced between work and future, memory and night, not yet reeled into tragedy’s elegant device. We drink and laugh as each devastation of
a failed transmission or a remembered four-hundred-year-old hurt melts and is forgotten in the liquid warmth of precipice’s darkened clutch. In a still moment, as the wind shifts and the laughter stops, I pray this night to never end, I pray to halt our peace-flight march to the inexorable red stone brink.

Love Love By Jeremy Heaston Down through the ages we can see the way men have conjured plots to keep the masses under the thumb of a few righteous cowards. As we start to crawl out of this oppression, a new age of consciousness is being ushered in. Seeing God in a fresh new light, we’re starting to realize we are all connected. We are all one. From the grass that grows up from the earth, to the birds that soar high above our heads. Brothers and sisters, we all need to treat each other with more respect. When you look at me and I at you, instead of seeing just flesh and bone, our shell, we should look at each other’s souls. Each other’s energy. That is what is significant; our soul is who we our. Our energy will never die. We all come from the same energy source. We are the universal energy, or God, if you will, experiencing himself in the physical. We are all beautiful in different and unique ways. Love each other. Be good to each other. Nothing I say here is some new idea. I am by no means the first to say these words. Greater people have said the same thing and even more. These words however are insights that we all have inside each and every one of us. Recently they have surfaced in me and I hope to help bring it out in all I come in contact with. You should do the same. Whenever you see someone in need, instead of ignoring them and pretending they do not matter, remember the life force that drives you and inspires you, it is the same force that lives inside them. We are all brothers and sisters that are thrown into this life. Help your neighbor. Be kind to each other, for you are helping and being kind to yourself and God. Once we hold these insights as truth we become happier and less selfish. You may be broke or going through trying times, but I tell you this, practice this truth, walk this path, and I tell you that you will find peace. You will find comfort, and you will find the true joy and happiness I have found. We have found ourselves in a time of much confusion and change. Now is the time to look within ourselves and at the same time beyond ourselves. See what is greater than us. See what is beyond us. See what we are. Brothers and sisters all in this thing together. There is no reason for me to lie to you. I don’t even know you. I only want every single person to feel the way I do. Happy and peaceful. So, Joy to the World, I say. And do your best to bring this Joy and Peace to all you have contact with. Merry Christmas

Expiration Date By Jeannette Gartner
Short stories 40
I may have mentioned a time or two that I have a serious problem with names. Remembering them, that is. Oh sure, I can pronounce them (I used to be a teacher, you know); I just can’t remember them. And that’s okay; I’m used to it since I’ve had that problem all my life. But now, alas, there’s something strange(r) going on. Now I’m losing words. Yeah, words. It doesn’t even have to be something archaic like “antidisestablishmentarianism.” It could be a simple word like “door,” “window,” or “exasperating.” So, I’ll be talking along, saying something extremely important like “Would you open the uh . . . uh . . . you know, that thing on the wall you look out of?” However, I have this theory . . . Here’s the thing. At my age, there’s just so much, uh, stuff, crammed in my brain that I can’t lay my tongue on a specific word at a moment’s notice. Plus, all that stuff in there? Well, it wasn’t neatly filed, as the years went along, now was it? There are file cabinets strewn everywhere with papers jammed in drawers, notes pinned on the wall, and abandoned ideas all over the floor. Each paper is a separate memory or word you learned sometime in the last umpteen years. You go in to pull out “snorkel” for example, and you might have to shuffle through hundreds of sheets of paper before you find it hidden under “leaf blower.” In addition, there could be a dozen rooms just like that one! So you have to think, “Hmmm, where would I have put that word? Could it be with vacations? Or maybe things I taught in school? Or words to live by?” Naturally, there’s no assurance that you even put it in the right room to begin with. You could be looking for “pediatrician” but put it in a box with “buon giorno” (one of the few Italian phrases I know). Or, conversely it could be stuck in a folder with other “p” words like “participation.” That’s why when you’re young, it’s a straight shot from your brain to your mouth ’cause you don’t have all that clutter to sort through. “Clutter.” Isn’t that a nice descriptive word? I found it in a box with “animosity.” Go figure . . . Anyway, by the time you can come up with the right word, the conversation has moved on and all you can do, when the word does wend its way out of your brain, is toss it into whatever conversation you’re now engaged in, even if it doesn’t make sense. Perplexing? Chances are, if you’re talking to other seniors, they won’t remember the original conversation anyway, and conversations don’t necessarily need to make sense. Occasionally, a favorite word, like “egregious,” will just pop out with no relevance to anything, but since it’s there you feel obligated to lob it into the middle of a conversation so everyone can admire it. It is a lovely word, and just feels so good to wrap your tongue around, so you slip it in, as, “In the grocery store yesterday, someone suddenly, egregiously, stepped right in front of me!” It’s amazing how much I used to rely on a working brain and how much I miss it now. That’s all part of the delightful process called uh, let me think . . . oh yeah, “aging” (misfiled under “pot roast”). Lots of other stuff happens, too. Maybe when we were younger, we had a standing appointment every week with our hairdressers, but now we seem to have one with our doctors. We need a weekly meeting just to keep him/her informed of the latest changes/failures/aches/deteriorations we can remember. So we hear a teenage doctor who, in the course of medical training, might have seen an older person somewhere, speculate, “That’s just part of getting older.” Sure, we realize that getting older is not for sissies, but should our doctors really be telling us to “tough it out?” It seems that words aren’t the only things we’ve misfiled—there’s also appointments, lunch dates, birthdays, paying bills, and God help us, occasionally even a party! Now that’s serious! Being seniors isn’t all sturm und drang, though. We have a lot to laugh at and we laugh a lot—partly because our conversations seem to consist of mainly non sequiturs (isn’t that a lovely phrase, which popped out while looking for “speculate”?) since no one hears, or remembers, what anyone else was saying anyway—and partly because our minds haven’t quite reached our expiration dates . . .

Christmas, 1968 By Milton Bluehouse, Jr.
Short stories
The winter of 1968 was colder than previous winters in memory. The biting wind and deep snow caused Navajo people to ponder the meaning of this unusual weather. At an isolated section of highway on the Navajo Indian Reservation, juniper trees poked through snowdrifts and winter storm clouds made the afternoon dark and light from a kerosene lamp could be seen in a hogan window in the middle of the Bisti Badlands. After hitching a ride from the train depot in Gallup, NM, Marine Cpl. Bitsui stood by the deserted roadside looking toward the hogan a half mile away, the collar of his military issued jacket turned up against the cold. Two years earlier, William Bitsui was one of the first boys at the tribal boarding school to volunteer for the Marines at 17. Now, on Christmas Day 1968, Billy stood by the road looking at the solitary light in the distance. Inside the hogan, Billy’s mother and father sat at a table and a pot of mutton stew cooked on the stove. Billy’s little brother Sam and sister Roberta sat near the stove warming up and playing Navajo string games, which made Roberta laugh and shout, “Again!” in delight. Turning from making dough into perfectly round tortillas, Billy’s mother said in Navajo, “Do not be loud. Sit quietly.” After this, the only sound was the boiling stew. By the road, Billy started out for home walking across a field. His combat boot made crunching noises in the fresh snow. At a small rise, he turned and looked at his tracks and rubbed his hands together and placed them over his ears. He held his VA crutches up by squeezing his arms to his body and balancing on his left foot. The sun was dropping and it started to get very cold. He looked toward the Chuska mountain range in the west and to Mt. Taylor in the southeast and took a deep breath and let it go in a rush of emotion. He was finally home. Nine months ago Billy was curled up behind walls of ammunition crates filled with dirt, huddling with his fire team in a bunker under sand bags as the North Vietnamese Army pounded Khe Sanh with mortar and artillery fire for 77 straight days and nights. Now, Billy was standing on a small hill near home and he could hear himself breathing in the cold air. For a man used to the earsplitting sounds of war, the winter silence was unnerving. After stirring the pot of boiling stew and lifting the last tortilla from the stove, Billy’s mother wiped her hands on her apron and told her family to get ready for dinner. She said in Navajo, “A long time ago a holy man named Jesus was born. This is why they say today is special.” Sitting down at the table now, Billy’s mom looked at the wall where Billy’s Marine picture hung proudly. She bowed her head and said a prayer in Navajo asking blessings for her family and protection for her son Billy who was far away in Vietnam. At this, she stopped praying and cried. Billy’s father reached for her hand and continued on with the prayer that ended with the Navajo sacred words repeated four times, “All will be returned to beauty.” Billy stood by the hogan and gently leaned his crutches against the wall and placed his ear against the door to listen. When he heard his mother crying inside his playful smile disappeared. Now, he heard his father praying and he closed his eyes and whispered along. At the end of the prayer Billy wiped his tears and thanked the holy people for bringing him home. After the prayer sorrow descended upon everyone inside the hogan and it was quiet. Everyone thought about Billy far away from home. Outside, Cpl. Bitsui waited a moment in the cold and finally threw open the door and shouted, “Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!” The kids were out of their chairs and rushed to Billy while their mother cried, “Shi yazhi! Shi yazhi!” My child! My child! Billy’s father sat frozen in disbelief and uttered in Navajo, “My son came home.” Everyone was crying and hugging at the door. Despite the freezing wind and deep snow, for Cpl. Bitsui’s family this unusual weather came to mean rejoice for a prodigal son feared lost to war but who returned safely home to the loving arms of his family.

It is a new year and two new recycling drop-off sites are available now in downtown Gallup. Blue segmented recycling trailers can be found at the Larry Brian Mitchell Recreation Center (the old Rainbow Recycling Center, 701 Montoya Boulevard) and at the Cultural Center (201 E. Historic Highway 66). New Recycling Drop-off Locations in Gallup! Open Monday – Friday Cultural Center: 8 am – 12 noon Larry Brian Mitchell Recreation Center: 1 – 4 pm Items accepted include the following: corrugated cardboard #1 & #2 plastic bottles with necks (rinsed / lids removed) tin (steel) cans (rinsed / no need to remove labels) mixed paper (junk mail, newspaper, magazines, catalogs, white and colored paper) A new year is a time for making resolutions. This year, consider making a resolution to start or increase recycling. Recycling saves our planet’s finite natural resources, money, energy, and space in our regional landfill. Where to Recycle brochures are available in a number of restaurants and the libraries. In addition you can find the Where to Recycle fact sheet on the City of Gallup and Northwest New Mexico Regional Solid Waste Authority web sites: gallupnm.gov/ DocumentCenter/View/191 and www.nwnmrswa.com/recycling-update.html. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The McKinley Citizens’ Recycling Council, a local non-profit working to increase recycling through education, is soliciting volunteers to monitor the trailer at the recreation center on Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. VOLUNTEERS are needed for either a morning or afternoon two-hour shift. MCRC will hold a training for individuals, groups, families, and others who would like to help their community in this way. If you are interested, please contact a recycling council member: Gerald / Millie 722-5142 or gohactivities@aol.com, Barbara 905-5233, Linda 905-5966, Betsy 722-9257 or betsywindisch@yahoo.com. The trailers were funded through a New Mexico Environmental Department RAID (Recycling And Illegal Dumping) grant received by the NWNMRSWA. Special thanks to Hollis Fleischer, a volunteer with Recycle Cibola!, for her assistance in writing this grant that benefits both counties. For additional information, call the Gallup Transfer Station on Hassler Valley Road (505) 8635776. In addition to the new locations, the recycling center at the Transfer Station is open Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 4:30 pm.
