One of the reasons I love New Mexico as much as I do is because of the light there. Every chance I could, I lost myself in rich variations of everything – landscape, plants, clouds, and people wrapped in that light. Being there with my daughter, and experiencing that with her and witnessing her wonder of it as well, was magical. The best thing we returned home with was a renewed sense of wonder for the fleeting poetry of light and its power to transform mood, landscape and atmosphere. The real work now is to maintain that wonder in the everyday context of our lives.
