kinda go crazy (busy) recently, d~ it! :))

again, impressed by your insightful and delightful words and beautiful photos......felt like i'd been visiting there with you:). phenomenon landscape and architecture, as well as those interesting art galleries.

couldn't help recalling a few scattered pieces of paragraph from the book i read before while was enjoying your post......the pueblo villages and that earth are absolutely unique and irreplaceable,worthy of spending a few days there!

a short quote from the book to share with you:
"The world offers us two different ways of interpreting the passage of time and of ordering the time we live by, ......The first way is by observing the annual movements of the heaveny bodies and how those movements creat the sequence of days and seasons and the four directions. From the predictable recurrence of summer and winter, night and day, life and death, from the cyclical nature of celestial time we learn to device a formal social order, an elaborate calendar, and a harmonious way of life that promises to endure forever.

The other way of interpreting time comes from our everyday experience of the world around us, from contact with the earth itself. Here is where we are confronted with uncertainty and contrast, unpredictable, irreversible change, while we are powerless to oppose. Whether the events that from and transform our environment are sudden and brief like a flood or the crashing down of a canyon wall, or whether they last for decades like a drought, their time scale teaches us nothing. Nevertheless, it is ppossible to remember them; in the course of generations we can understand this earthly system of time and eventually eliminate some of its terrifying and destructive unpredictability.-- J. B. Jackson"
