August 14: Capitol Reef National Park

Maybe it's ghosts 
But it feels more like
an shattered presence
a vastness
an absence of peace 
Malevolence. 

There are apricot trees 
fruit pies 
relaxed helpful rangers
a stark beauty like nothing I've ever seen—
and I'm glad I've seen it—
but it's not right in my heart.

    I wonder why you had that reaction to it, and I wonder how many others have felt the same thing.

    I hope to see this, when the boycott of the US finishes. But ... the last line ... maybe not.

    It probably was ghosts.

    I wasn't sure where this was, so I looked it up. Whenever I see pictures like this, I feel such a sense of familiarity that I'm sure I spent a life there once. Except I don't know where I stand on reincarnation.
