Girls and Pad of Paper - Friends General Conference

Pikes Peak and Clouds - Colorado
April 2010

Skye and I were in Colorado Springs for several days last week, and it was a pleasure to watch Pikes Peak frequently change in visual character. In the mornings it was bathed with clear-sky light from the east. By afternoon the clouds would move in, and the mountain would be gone from view. During the last afternoon of our visit we took a short hike through the Garden of the Gods, and the clouds partially lifted to reveal fresh snow on the Peak. Minutes later it was enshrouded again. I felt like I had had a bit of an Ansel Adams moment.

"Say anything," he (Sam Shepard) said. "You can't make a mistake when you improvise."
"What is I mess up? What if I screw up the rhythm?"
"You can't," he said. "It's like drumming. If you miss a beat, you create another."
Patti Smith, from "Just Kids"
