Pluto
I hit the ground running. Literally. The ground.
My first week in Santa Fe is pretty totally nuts. I haven’t even unpacked my bags before I’m assisting in a psychic surgery, a guy with wrist problems. I don’t do much, really, besides create a tonal resonance bed and repair the toilet, but it’s crazy exciting I gotta tell you. That’s Day One. Before two weeks is out I’ve got a handyman job and my picture in the paper and a lunch date with the Governor of New Mexico. May I please repeat that? The GOVERNOR. Susana Martinez. Nice lady. Excellent posture.
But mostly I’m studying my a** off. About the geography of New Mexico, which is what it’s all about. You obviously know about the five vortexes (vortices?) that hum with healing energy. That’s really all I knew when I got off the plane. But the history goes back 1½ billion years to the later Precambrian Era. In other words, the oldest rocks on earth. These remain deep below the surface, unseen except for a handful of boulders that came along for the ride in lava flows. But the Sangre de Christo and Sandia ranges are both eruptions of granite and metamorphic rock much older than any complex life on the planet.
